With weight....I agree in that it's all relative to what you're accustomed to.
I used to pilot around a Burgman 650 all over town. Never once had I thought it was too heavy. Yet, that thing weighs 275 kg= 606 lbs.
My '83 CB1100F I had weighed 266.0 kg (586.4 pounds). Rode that thing all over the place, including around campus while attending college. It had heft, but I just took it as a good thing for hwy use.
My Vstrom 650, with all my camping gear and clothes and spare parts, weighs 550-600lbs, and yet I take that bike out slippin' and slidin' on dirt every chance I get.
Me, I'm a small guy...5'-5", 155lbs, 29" inseam.
I'm just thrilled that this CB1100 fits me, and I can touch the ground w/ my toes. I have no problems going slow on mine. WHen I park, I try to find two open parking spots to be able to uturn and point my bike outwards so that I don't have to back it out.
