I agree we weigh bikes and people are amazed. I'd be very surprised if it was 30lbs difference. Its basically a 2005 yz250 with stuff added.

Personally I'm not excited by the x. In my opinion yamaha is doing great things but its not a big enough step. My buddy just got a new yz250fx and its a completely different bike than the x. Hopefully other manufactures including yamaha will take the step into the 300 realm. Competition in the segment is good. Pushes everybody.
