That would be logical, but it's not the case. The listed dry weight + the weight of the fluids rarely comes close to the actual weight of the bike. Best way for comparison has always been the multi-bike tests in SportRider, Bike, and similar mags where competing bikes are weighed on the same scale, under the same conditions, with a similar fuel load.
