It's such an issue that there is a sub-forum on the ST site about drops.
This heavier bike feels at least 100 lbs lighter than the ST unpowered.
My dream brake setup would be like the one mentioned, unlinked at low speed with ABS, however; perfection is the enemy of good enough.

My work bike is an ST1300, and yes, rolling that feels SO much heavier than the F6 to move. The F6 has reverse, but after moving the ST out, the blue beasts a doddle.
