How much weight do these systems add to the motorcycle?

Also, the article mentions when you as the rider are encountering problems, the bike will take over control.

It likely won't be anywhere near as good as sliced bread to start with.  But it might be given time.  Any of the new self-driving or safety type features are really difficult to do and will have a lot of growing pains. 

When I'm in my 70s (much closer than I want to think about)  I might really like a self balancing bike.  But, I'm a sucker for new tech
