Who wouldn't want a play bike with a 34 inch seat height, 55 inch wheelbase, 10-11 inches of suspension, torquey bullet proof motor, and weight under 200 pounds?

the ktm 200 does this, very good beginner bike, I have an autoclutch and trials tire on mine, my wife loves it
it feels like a toy compared to a gasgas, the gasgas frame is significantly bigger, the 2006-2007 ktm 200's will turn under a gasgas, but they do not have high speed stability
