But it would be so hard to pick up if it was on top of me.......

With a bike that heavy it would be impossible

With any bike other than your 250 Rebel it would be impossible.

I saw a 100lb lady demo the proper tecnique for picking up a bike, she had a goldwing.

Was it laying on top of her like the post above said?

One of the girls in class dropped a Rebel and it landed on top of her. She just laid there until we got over to get the bike off of her.

Weight is a consideration when buying a bike. You need to be able to walk it on level ground and even a slight incline.

Other than that, all bikes weigh the same when you are balanced going down the road IF you are in control of the bike, and that is 0.

If being able to pick up your bike when it is on its side was a hard consideration, there would be a bunch of people on 250 Rebels instead of what they are riding now. If I dumped my Road King it would be difficult for me to get it upright without assistance, but I don't plan on finding out.

Wait until you get older.. your jugs might be leg protectors then..
