Yamaha Morphous weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.
