Not too much of an issue for my Zero FX, but can you imagine a Energica at 621 Plus pounds. :(
It will depend on how flat it falls.  That is probably  more important than the weight. With the SR, my handlebar was on the ground.

With mine, I was on a hill, so the handlebars were below the rest of the bike!

The second method in the video.  Knees down, arms under it stiffly, leaning into the seat.

You shouldn't be riding a bike you can't pick up by yourself.

Then I shouldn't be riding at all as that could be all ten of mine, in some situations.

I once dumped my Suzuki DR200SE on a hillside, off road. I got it back up, but it took about an hour, which including dragging it to a place where it was possible to be picked up. And that is the lightest bike I own. 

I was sure happy I had the DR200SE then and not the DR650SE, which I was thinking about when I decided to go with the lighter bike, even though the larger was a better deal. If the bike was any heavier, it would probably still be laying there near Mt. Pevine (Reno area).
