Suzuki RF 600 R weight overview
This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

How much does the Suzuki RF 600 R fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.49 US gal (17 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 27.9 lb (12.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Suzuki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Suzuki RF 600 R with an average-size rider?
