No way that KTM will be as light as the 2 stroke GasGas Pampera. The beauty of the Pampera is that an average, casual riding woman can handle it in all aspects of trail riding, including picking it up and starting it. I know my wife has one, and its perfect for her.
The Ossa looks a lot more trials like, much smaller front brake, etc.
The 280i motor is cool, but just FI not DI. Still, I REALLY like the reverse cyl design on a two stroke, and the option for a rear tucked in pipe it provides. For a woods bike this would be great. You wouldn't have the heat issues like on a 4stroke with this design (Cannondale, Berg). The pipe would be high but its light, and could be made even lighter being its not exposed to the trail. A case reed design would keep the carb low. A DI design would also keep the heavier head components lower. Time to think out of the box, GG.
