On the scales, the Silver Vase 440 measures 148 kg (326 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,444 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 22.48-liter (5.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
