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........
It sounds like we have similar results and I ride VetA also. I am sure you will not have any problems..
