Its all variable. I don't know what the bike weighs in at, but I know the 2013 is definitely heavier than the 2010. I feel the different noticably when moving it around. In motion, they both are no issue at all.

Bike weight varies heaps depending on how much mud is stuck to it, how many L of fuel left, which brand of tyres, tubes, mouses, etc. How many tools you carry. How many litres of water. My weight varies depending how much I've induldged, but mostly hovers around 75kgs when dressed in day to day attire. Put me in bike gear with a tool roll and a backpack, plus 3L of water and an extra L of fuel, and I'd say I'd be up over 100kgs. Then wet me and add a few more.

I guess what I'm saying, is that for me weight is not an issue. Not when its a few kgs here or there. How the bike rides and how much rider input it takes to keep it going where you want it to has a much bigger effect.
