Man, I'm only 5'8" and never felt my '05 250 was too tall or heavy. I ride a lot of flowy trails but also some hike-a-bike stuff and never noticed the weight being a problem. Of course, I did come off a KDX200, and those are just as heavy, but it felt much heavier than the Gasser even when dead lifting it. I assume that has to do with how the weight is carried much lower on the GG than the top heavy KDX. Having e-start on a 2T is nice but it's not nearly the necessity as with a 4T.
YMMV and IMO!
