What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Yamaha FZ6R is heavier than about 77.1% of 83 Yamaha sport bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.6 US gal (17.41 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 28.6 lb (13 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Yamaha 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 FZ6R.
