I think the poster is asking what the difference is between his GG250 and his KTM 380. Best way to answer that is ... just ride your 250 and you will know!

The other bikes will fall in the middle of your 2001 GG 250 and the KTM 380 in the power department, but the suspension on your 250 will not be up to the newer bikes standards. Your 01 250 will be competitive, since you are starting out take the money from the sale of the 380 and put it into the suspension on the 250. When you get better you will know what you want to move up to.

I have used the Michelin S/M12 combo for many years here in the South East. Many of my riding buds are into the Bridgestone front and a trials tire on the rear. I am currently using a Pirelli Scorpion on the rear of my 300 w/Michelin on the front. I hated the Scorpion on the rear of my 01 250 but it really works well on the 300. Go figure!

Hope this helps!

Where in the S.E. are you located?
