These things are all relative of course. My XT is much easier to handle, feels lighter and is more fun to ride on my trails than my BMW GS1200 Adventure was, but the XT with a full tank will no doubt feel big, heavy and unwieldy compared to a mid size enduro bike. It's all a compromise somewhere and just depends what your priorities are.
Certainly, compared to the BMW I've not noticed the effects of a full tank of fuel in quite the same way on the XT. But with a big tank you don't have to fill it right up all the time if you are concerned about it.
