Yamaha YZF-R1SP weight overview
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.

Yamaha YZF-R1SP weight FAQ
What is the Yamaha YZF-R1SP dry weight?

Which Yamaha YZF-R1SP years have different weight specs?

How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha YZF-R1SP?
Based on the supplied 4.76 US gal (18 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 29.6 lb (13.4 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Yamaha YZF-R1SP and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 563.6 lb (255.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Yamaha YZF-R1SP weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 413.2 lb (187.4 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What is the estimated Yamaha YZF-R1SP 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 413.2 lb (187.4 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Yamaha YZF-R1SP torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 20.5 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How many cc does the Yamaha YZF-R1SP have per pound?
The available figures work out to 2.6 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
