On the subject of the EC 200, I'm considering buying one, but have 3 questions:

1. I already have a 2006 EC 300, which is a brilliant bike, but I find it exhausting for local club hare and hounds because it pulls so hard right off tickover. Would the 200 be a lot easier to ride, or should I stick with my TM 125 for racing ?

2. Does anyone know if there was an EC 200 model produced in 2010 (europe / uk market). I can't find any reference to it on any of the Gas Gas sites ? I have the frame number if that helps i.d. the bike in question.

3. The bike has Sachs forks and shock. I'm a novice racer - will the sachs be noticeably different to the marzocchi / ohlins on my '06 ? I generally find soft settings on the shock and lighter oil / bigger air gap in the forks work well on most bikes
