Funny how we all comment on the KTM above the bike feeling. I get it too and for some reason it doesn't inspire confidence. I feel very detached.
The 2012 chasis was taller, and 2013 they changed the linkage to bring it back in between the 2011 and 12 range. I don't know exactly but I noticed it jumping between my 2 bikes in the shed. On the trail its not an issue and I'm only 5'9 - it actually feels much better on the trail as the raised clearance and peg height doesn't have you hanging/banging up as much. The 2013 kind of feels more 'on top of' than the previous chasis, but still nothing like the katoom. Like the perfect mix of in and out.
Thanks for the write up Wrench. Most enjoyed!
