how light, my dakar is fairly light on the steering at low speed due to the wide bars, Great for filtering through traffic. 
Its stable at high speed tho and pretty flickable for what it is. Check the front tire pressure, should be in the 30's from what i can remember.

Front should be 1.9 bar and the rear 2.1 bar.

Annakees are OK, but two up it will feel light at the front end... cos it will be 
Beef up the preload and a few extra pounds in the rear tyre will make it feel better.... you'll soon get used to it!
Get the head bearings checked... a common problem with the 650GS's, even at low mileage
