This statement is true FACT!! The fact that a 300 Gas Gas without electric start is so HEAVY scares me. I have no time on my bike but the little I do (12 300) I do not feel it. I am normally a top 20 overall enduro finisher and first to 3rd in my class (sen A) or Vet A (I'm 47) but we shall see next race season. I went from a Husky 150 to this Gasser. The little time I have on it I like it. But there is NO excuse why it is so heavy. It is pretty and has all high end parts so I undersatand some of the weight. A KTM is light because it is a POS and that is why a Husky or Gasser is a little heavier. Buy I am sure you are right ALOT of people will AVOID the bike just because of that........
