Yamaha Roadliner weight overview
This sits in heavyweight territory. Riders should think about garage movement, backing up, surface slope and passenger/luggage load as much as the on-road feel. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Yamaha Roadliner weight FAQ
How heavy is the Yamaha Roadliner?
Listed dry weight is 705 lb (319.8 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Is the Yamaha Roadliner heavy compared with other Yamaha custom/cruiser motorcycles?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 90th weight percentile in its Yamaha category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Yamaha Roadliner weight change by model year?
Not in the usable weight data on this page. Across the covered 2006-2007 years, the supplied weight figure remains the same where comparable values are available.
How much does the Yamaha Roadliner fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 4.5 US gal (17.03 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 28 lb (12.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Yamaha curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Yamaha Roadliner with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 885 lb (401.4 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Yamaha Roadliner dry weight as curb weight?
No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 733 lb (332.5 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
What is the estimated Yamaha Roadliner weight with a full tank of gas?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 733 lb (332.5 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
How many cc does the Yamaha Roadliner have per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 2.63 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
How does the Yamaha Roadliner compare with the median Yamaha custom/cruiser motorcycle weight?
The model sits about 209 lb (94.8 kg) heavier than the compatible median Yamaha custom/cruiser motorcycle weight used on this page.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
