That isn't a pin tumbler lock, it's a wafer mechanism. From looking at the keys in stock images it's not clear if it's double sided or just single sided with a reversible key, but I'd imagine it's double sided. You should be able to see and feel the wafers clearly.
The part which is spinning is a drill shield... with tension applied, it won't get in the way of picking whatsoever. You can pick it with the tools you have, not the easiest locks in the world but if you know what you're doing and have a little patience it shouldn't be too bad. I've picked similar abus locks for mountain bikes and they take a fair amount of tension so that could be the problem. I don't wanna go into too much detail about picking it cos this is your first post and it's a motorbike lock, not saying you're up to no good but if someone else looking to steal a bike with the same lock on it comes on here and finds specific information, well you get the idea. We don't want to be held accountable for that sort of thing.
