i went to the headquarter of our highway-patrol-police. there they have a big weighbridge to control the big trucks and coaches. i wanted to know exactly what my m3w weighs. front is 210 kg, back is 320 kg. to a total of 530 kg. empty car! fuel gas tank. cool :-)
The overall weight is interesting, but I think you have front and rear the wrong way round: surely there must be more weight over the front, with that big lump of an engine.
It would be quite interesting to know the front/rear ratio with a couple of people weighing about 80kg each on board. It must then be slightly biased towards the rear.

It certainly handles better with two people! On my solo treks, I have given serious thought to adding at least 60kg to the passenger side!
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
