I really dont understand the whole weight thing. Maybe because I weigh more than 100lbs I had a 09 300XC that was very dialed in and I hated it!!!! So I went back to a 4T and loved it because of the weight and planted feel. That is one reason the GasGas is so appealing to me. I have been riding forever and the weight goes away once the bike is moving. The weight also plants the front wheel and gives confidence at speed. When you crash. there is not much difference in picking up a GasGas, Yamaha, KTM, Suzuki or anything else. If there is, that person should find another hobby. As far as E-Start issues, KTM has had the issue since day one on their 2T`s. KTM guys are no different than Honda guys etc. Everyone bashes everyone`s bikes. There was a time not very long ago, that KTM was slammed by everyone. KTM has done a great job over the years bringing the brand to the top. The have a model for everyone and that was brilliant and also very expensive. Gas Gas is a great bike, but it has factory issues. Its not that Clay isnt doing his job, it is that the factory is laxed. And if you have ever spent time in Europe you would understand why. But everyone should watch out for Sherco, because it looks like they are not messing around. My Two Cents
