WHAT THIS MEANS

This is on the lighter side for a road motorcycle. The advantage is usually most obvious while parking, maneuvering at walking speed and moving the bike around off the engine.

Weight changes by model year

The 1974 model is used as the baseline where data is available. Only later supplied values that differ are shown below. A year pill does not mean every individual weight field was supplied for that year.

Useful weight calculations

Displacement per pound 0.84 cc / lb to 0.87 cc / lb
Weight per 100 cc 114.7 lb / 100 cc to 119.2 lb / 100 cc
Fuel weight as % of bike weight 4.8% to 5.6%

What the weight numbers tell you

A full tank is not weightless: the 2.25 US gal (8.5 L) to 2.64 US gal (10 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 14 lb (6.3 kg) to 16.4 lb (7.5 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Suzuki curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every TS 250.
