IMO- power to mass ratio is much more important than weight. but the lighter it is, the easier it'll be in the rough stuff...

Bigger bike doesn't need to be heavy bike. Look at every rally bike. Most average people have trouble touching the ground.
I'm 5'9". Average male height. I am tippy toe on both sides of my 690 or flat foot on one side or the other. Its not a small bike... but it weighs less then the crf250.
I agree power is important. But I would way rather ride a crf250 in mongolia then a 1190 adv. Anyone who has ridden an big ADV bike to mongolia will probably agree with me... or they took the pavement most of the way.
