The fairing frame is ally, tanks plastic and fairing fibreglass. All in all it doesn't weigh that much. But obviously if you fill the tanks up then you will have the extra weight of the fuel.
Motorway isnt a problem if you get a good seat, and I'm not talking about the KTM comfort seat. Get a decent one, I did Magadan to London on the standard seat it was bad 
My friend had a custom seat and air hawk, no problem there.
We geared the front from 15t to 17t and they run well at 80+mph all day long.

Thanks - all this sounds excellent. What's the general mpg you're getting? Although my current bike is a little heavy, it does 60mpg easily; this is a real plus for overland travel!
