I dont really think its because its that their so heavy, but because the weight is located much more towards the top of the bike than a sport bike. My 230 is pretty hard to pick up when down and it only weighs 236lbs. You have to lift it alot higher in order to get it up on two again. Also, the reason why they are so tall is so that they can clear trees, hills, etc. and not get stuck on the engine case.
