The weight of the 2007 and 2018 EC300s is not a negative to me on single track and fire roads as compared to the 2008 ktm 200xc I just sold. That was the lightest year ktm 200 ever at about 208 lbs (from memory).
While riding I never noticed the extra weight of either EC300 except that I prefer the EC300s since they feel more planted to me and that makes me feel more confident.
The lighter weight 2008 ktm 200xc was a great bike but the light weight also makes it dance around more on the trail than the Gassers.
