Why would you want a "dry" weight? That doesn't include any fluids or battery; you can't ride them "dry".

Dry weight of a 1997 900SS is 186kg.
(A 1997 750SS is 176kg and a 1997 600SS is 172kg)
1997 900SS wet weight (full tank etc) is 194kg
AL.

I want the dryweight cause i'm on a serious weight reduction on my SL.
@Mr Spigot: something is wrong on what you wrote concerning the 900, between the dryweight an the weight with full tank, the difference is 8 kg. But a complete tank on the SS is 13,1 kg (17,5x0,75) hmmmmm... ???

Please feel free to take it up with Ducati - Page 75 of the 1997 SS Owners' Handbook attached.
Perhaps they couldn't do the maths........264 - 70 = 194
The early Workshop Manual quotes dry weights at 3kg less than the 1997 Owners' Handbook, while the wet weight stays at 194kg.

Howdo!!
I'm interested as well in what a standard bike (wet) weighs, then compare mine and see how much weight the old girl has lost.
Any takers?

Wow, that's light. My 94 SP weighs 388 lbs/176 kg, fully fueled and with lights, passenger footpegs, and rear fender assy removed for track day.
But I haven't really tried to reduce weight much. For instance, for track days, I don't remove any of the wiring harness, and I haven't replaced any parts for weight's sake. Bike is stock except for cut airbox.

Lots of removing/replacing stuff was necessary to get down to that weight. Not street legal, of course.
