I thought it was good too. Dave is a good tester, understands and knows what he's talking about. His testing has helped me improve my own bike's setup and performance.
I rode an '06 250XCW and it was terrible. Even my buddy's LTR valved 300EXC feels like crap compared to mine. I cannot understand what people honestly see in those bikes that makes them think they are superior. Even the dated but proven Husky WR250 design feels better.
IMO, as well as that of some respected tuners, until KTM gets their thumb out of their a**, admits defeat, and goes back to linkage, the GG will always be ahead. Having worked for a company of that culture for several years, I doubt it will happen soon. They will not even go back to a screw on gas cap!
Dispite the distributor issue, a well set up '07 GG is the bomb.
