What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Yamaha TZR 50 is lighter than about 94% of 83 Yamaha sport bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 3.65 US gal (13.8 L) to 3.7 US gal (14 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 22.7 lb (10.3 kg) to 23 lb (10.4 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 TZR 50.
