Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Suzuki V-Strom 650 ABS is lighter than about 81.7% of 30 Suzuki sport-touring motorcycles with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 5.3 US gal (20.06 L) to 5.81 US gal (22 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 32.9 lb (14.9 kg) to 36.1 lb (16.4 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 V-Strom 650 ABS.
