Equipment list
Motorcycles Under 300 Pounds Wet
Motorcycles with a wet weight under 300 pounds: every confirmed model with model years, power, weight and a link to its full buyer's guide on NastyNils.
Wet weight is what a bike weighs ready to ride: fuel, oil and coolant all on board, as the manufacturer states it. Under three hundred pounds, it’s easier to push around a parking lot, easier to pick up and easier to hold at a stop. Dry weight leaves the fluids out, so it doesn’t compare. A bike makes the list only with a confirmed wet weight.
If one of these bikes catches your eye, pin down the exact generation and model year of the one you’re looking at. Match both to what’s shown here before you take the weight as yours. Any other figure you’re quoted has to be a stated wet weight, not a dry one.
Every motorcycle below has a wet weight under 300 pounds from the factory, confirmed against manufacturer information. Where a trim or special edition shares it with the base bike, only the base bike is listed. A model that is missing here may still have it; it means we have not confirmed it yet.
