Some are, definitely, but not all. The Yamaha FJR is only 100 more pounds, and the BMW R1200RT weighs about 40 more pounds. Keep in mind both of these bikes come with hard bags, and have full fairings, which increase weight, and have way more sophisticated electronics packages. The bags and fairings you'd add yourself anyway so when you look at the totality of the thing, these bikes are pretty close in weight to the CB, but the total package is much nicer on the ST's for doing long-distance, IMO. Of course, they cost more, however. Even then, though, by the time you get done buying bags, retro-fitting fairings, etc., you're probably pretty close on price with the FJR (forget the BMW, it's price is double that of the CB).
