Off the top of your heads would anyone know the weight difference (ball park figure) between a bike engine (CBR1000) and a x flow with g/box?

Mate wants to know

I'd guess around 70kg ish vs 140 - 150kg so in the region of 70 - 80kg

My R1 engine without carbs weighed 60kg, so no more than 65kg complete.

A crossflow weighs about 110kg, plus maybe 35kg for a gearbox plus another 5 for the clutch and other bolt on bits. Say 150kg, or 85kg more or 13st 5lbs more. Or the weight of 2 R1s plus 20kg of stuff to link them together.
