I have read lots of reviews about how good the DRZ is offroad but there seems to be little opinion out there about the XT. I recently did the BMW offroad course on an F650 - expensive but great course- and was amazed what it could do offroad and was thinking about the XT as its almost 20 kg lighter. I read one good review in Bike comparing it to a Huskie and F650.
Has anyone been using their XT offroad and how has it been?
Thanks

I do both offroad and sm. offroad I use 48 sprocket size, sm 46. I like the weight, not to light, not to heavy. good for both onroad/offroad. Lot's of power to handle when offroad
