How a battery + electric kick starter + additional bit and pieces weigh only 3 kg is a bit of a mistery though.

The battery will be very small as room will be tight and the starter motor wont be very big as the battery wont be strong enough to push it. 3Kg seems about right. Small batterys on big singles arnt a good idea anyway, as they struggle unless they are in tip top condition. Some KTM's and Husabergs suffer with this.
I think the 10k weight difference will be because the lighter version wont have the extra subframe (used to hold mudguard, indicators, lights, plate etc) Maybe even have the plastic headlight cover(like the US) instead of the euro glass one. Little things like switch gear, indicators, horn etc will easily add upto 10K
Also maybe one of the weights was a dry weight (no oil & fluids)
