So how long is the power compared to a 200 ktm. Does the GasGas have good over rev like a 167 since it is not over square? Does it rev to like 10,000 rpm? Might seem like a weird question so below is some context of what I'm asking. Is it easy to ride it in the meat of the power without ultra precise shifts to keep on the pipe. Long power gets you that.



Context: I rode 175/200's for 12 years, went to 250 Mx bikes for the next 18 years. Always raced off road only. I heard so much about 200's I bought a KTM. I found it to have short power. What I mean by this is low end was a little weaker than a 250 and it did not have the over rev of a 250. In effect it had a big hit and you really had to stir the shfitet to go fast. As a reference I ran top 5 Overall at local events in many states so my pace is good. The other thing the 200 did not have is the grunt to wheelie over something on demand. So as my wife would say -"I sold that experiment" and went back to a 250. The last 3 years I've turned into a trail rider and got myself a 300 GasGas in adition to my current KTM 250. I'm consistently faster on the GasGas but I really believe this has to do with the handling.
