Here's my F800GS. I like it, but it "is" a big pig!!

Here it is taking a nap a couple of weeks ago at the Desert 100 in N.E. WA state. (5,000 riders...75 degrees, awesome event!!)

It's hard to tell in the photo, but I was just starting down a ten-foot drop. There was no way I was going to pick the bike up by myself, and I was blocking the track. I had to walk back 200 feet to signal the following riders to stop. Neither the bike or me had any bruises. It is just too heavy to pick up.
I just sold my KTM450 EXC a couple of weeks ago. "That" would have been a fun bike on this trail, but I wanted to be able to haul my camping gear 240 miles to the race on my bike. Everyone else had motor homes.
