Modern tires made for big ADV bikes are also heavy. Probably 15-20 lbs of extra weight there depending on brand.

The HP2 numbers were probably understated by quite a bit. My R100GS is about 475# and my HP2 wasn’t significantly lighter. I never actually weighed it.

ABS with dual front disks, Euro 5 emissions standards (exhaust weight), more powerful computer for ride modes, wider tubeless wheels with TPMS….
