For the 2006 model year, the Yamaha DT 50 X motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 231.5 lb (105 kg).
Yamaha DT 50 X 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.
