It's a tough dirtbike that needs about the same attention as your KTM. THe biggest thing you will notice apart from the missing 2 strokes is the chassis. The kato has a steeper steering head angle which combined with a lack of squat from the pds system makes for a quick turning bike through the bars but feels a bit less stable in ruts and berms and at pace. You'll think the gg turns sloppy until you realise that it turns as good without massive human weight transfer just like a jap bike, then you'll get your head round why this is a great bike. Cheers.
