The GasGas motor is bulletproof, I just personally proved that. Its heavier yes, but if you plan to keep it for five years it will be running for those years. I have an '07 that frequently holeshots races, so no, you don't need a KTM to go fast. If you want hit you can set it up that way. The '12+ platform has a bigger feel, more mainstream in size, so taller riders should like it. Its also very stable, especially in rough turns, really holds a line well. KTMs tend to sacrifice stability for steering. I'd get a YZ250 before a KTM.
