It's 540lbs which is way to heavy to be considered a superbike [1].
For reference -- unlike Mission who presumably are hiding the weight on purpose -- Suzuki lists their stock GSX1000R as 450lbs wet on its spec page[2].
As a counterpoint, an article[1] posted elsewhere in this thread makes it seem like the weight is not as big a deal as it seems due to how centralized it is. Interesting and I guess I will have to reserve judgement until I can ride one :)
