What's to continue?
You're arguing that chain is a bad idea on a dirt-oriented bike and that the steel will make the bike handle poorly and heavy. Chain in the dirt is the well proven standard and what the best dirt bike manufacturers use and the best dirt riders demand. A steel frame may in fact be a sliver heavier, but not enough to matter when riding in the real world, and there is no evidence that it came with a handling penalty.
And 10 lbs? Geez.
As far as I can tell, you were never ever the target customer and are convinced that the F800S is the single best bike ever, that any place that the other new F-models diverge from its brochure highlights is a mistake. I'm glad you like your bike.
p.s. Shaft drive shines in the dirt... That's funny.
