Only other downside is the oil change and valve check service intervals. But most find the valves in spec. The Moto Guzzi V7 would be a good choice if the weight worries you.

I can speak to the weight.. after not riding for 34 years- I bought a CB1100 .. and quite frankly was terrified about the weight before I rode the bike- considering I was new to riding again after some time away.
Well- I got on the bike, and rode-and the weight was not an issue.
bike handled like magic. almost like it I was always riding it?
its incredibly balanced, well designed, handles amazing and you do not notice the weight ...at all (at least I didn't).
its a very "tame" bike-if that makes sense. You have to respect it-but it doesn't give you any surprises.
my first ride was almost 100kms-i just couldn't stop riding it...lol
I say this as a new rider. that's just my experience ...for what its worth. hope that helps
