Well it'll depend on the temperature, as density will change. I see it at 42.5 lb/ft3 on Engineering Toolbox's site. I believe I remember it being a bit lighter than water, but that's also a good gauge to approximate with

Friggen' engineers...  [roll]

At a temperature of 20 degrees C or 68 degrees Fahrenheit, a (U.S.) gallon of pure water weighs about 8.34 pounds, whereas a gallon of vehicular gasoline weighs about 6.15 pounds at that temperature.

8 pounds for a gallon of water and 6 pounds for gallon gasoline.

here's what you do:

sit on the bike bone dry, on a scale.
drink 6 gallons of water, reweigh yourself on the bike.
piss out 6 gallons of water, and drink 6 gallons of gasoline
try not to burp while reweighing yourself and bike.
piss out 6 gallons of gasoline ( it's best to refrain from cigars/cigarettes during this phase )

now,  subtract the two numbers ( if you forgot to write them down, just start over from the beginning ).

wait, what was this for?

More good thinking! [thumbsup]

Wait, why does gas weigh less than water? You engineers talk amongst yourselves. [laugh]
