For the 2002 model year, the Yamaha TZ 250 motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 229.3 lb (104 kg).
Yamaha TZ 250 weight overview
Its low overall mass should be most noticeable off the throttle: moving it by hand, backing out of a parking space and managing stop-start riding should take less effort than on a heavy road bike. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.
