How much fuel and oil was in your S1000R when you weighed it? BMW lists the S1000R weight as 476 lb. The listed weight includes full fuel and oil. The weight of 5.2 gal of fuel and 4 quarts of oil is ~ 39 pounds which is close to the difference between what you measured and BMW's listed weight.
None of which changes the fact that your S1000R is about 150 pounds lighter than my RT. Looks like you've got a fun ride!
I just looked and the listed weight with full tank of gas is actually 205kg or 452lbs. I had less than a 1/2 tank, which would have been about ~16lbs.
