I can name some advantages of the small bikes like maneuverability, fuel economy, you can pick it up yourself after a fall. For the people whom have seen The Long Way Round there is even a good example when Claudio drives a local small bike and can travel much faster than Charlie and Ewan.
Can somebody explain the advantages of these 'monster' bikes?

GLAMOUR -> The actor rides the big bike, while the cameran films him riding the (sh*tty) light bike.
PS: If next time the actor swims wearing boots and the cameraman swims with fins...
