What is the 125kg include? Ask as I don't know. Things like wet or dry and the ancillaries.
Also gearbox can weigh alot. The only experience I have of gearbox replacement of a different but similar gearbox is a MK1 cortina to a lotus elan gearbox. We didn't weigh the two but took two and a gearbox jack to remove the cortina box and only one to fit the the lotus one.
Another of the advantages of a motorbike engine is a very compact so great for small engine spaces like motorbikes engined fiat 500 and fiat 126.
Also you can use the standard bike wiring and ECUs and there is a lot of tuning potential on the standard ECU.
