I had my first outing on then ktm at the weekend, its hard comparing the 2 with my old GG being a 250 and the ktm being a 300.
However what i can say is when i put the fmf gnarly on the GG she pulled like a 300 down low. Unbelievable engine control
The positives the GG has over the KTM are:
Clutch so light makes the ktm clutch feel like the old cable clutches you had years ago
Nissin brakes more responsive and stronger bite compared to the brembos
I just love the Gassers ride height, cant count how many times ive fallen off the ktm when coming to a stop, and im 5ft 10" so i aint overly verticaly challenged.
Despite my ktm being a 6days model the GG comes with more bling.
GGriderforum full of helpful people and information, ktm forum is nowhere near as helpfull
The positives off the EXC:
Electric start, couldnt live without it now
Parts are more readily available in my area as i have no local GG dealership network
Easier resale where i am.
To be honest i cant say either bike is better as i am no expert, what i can say is if my GG had an electric start to begin with, i wouldnt have purchased the ktm.
