Is a racing bike about a metric ton?

No. A metric ton is roughly the same as a "long ton" ... 2200 pounds. Racing bicycles usually weigh around 15-20 pounds. Perhaps you meant racing motorcycles. Those are indeed considerably heavier, but still nowhere near a metric ton... 300-400 pounds is a reasonable weight. Even a touring motorcycle typically weighs less than half a metric ton (the Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide has a curb weight of around 900 lbs).
