[[Ducati]] has in the past used the term "Ducati weight", pertaining to a value excluding the battery as well as all fluids, but have since begun using "dry weight" for this.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ducati.com/bikes/monster/1100__evo/tech_spec.do |title=Archived copy |access-date=2013-06-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511070711/http://ducati.com/bikes/monster/1100__evo/tech_spec.do |archive-date=2013-05-11 }}</ref>
Beginning in 2009, the [[Japanese Big Four]] manufacturers and BMW began publishing the wet weight rather than dry, usually providing some explanation for what this means. Since then most other manufacturers have followed, in order to comply with EC directives that explicitly state that the values pertain to the vehicle in running order. Honda describes it as curb weight (aka kerb weight) and says this means the bike is "ready to ride." Others say all fluids are included and the fuel tank is at least 90% full. [[Erik Buell Racing]] gives "wet weight (no fuel)" for the 2012 1190RS motorcycle,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.erikbuellracing.com/motorcycles/1190rs/|title=1190RS « Erik Buell Racing|website=erikbuellracing.com}}</ref> while [[KTM]] gives a "weight without fuel approx."<ref>http://www.ktm.com/us/superbike/1190-rc8-r-usa/highlights.html#.UbLgxpz4KoY {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref>
