GG 200 size
I have a 2011 KTM 300xc and a 2006 GG 300 and don't really notice the physical size difference that some people talk about. I had a chance to try a KTM 200 and noticed right away the physical size difference. The 200 felt smaller and more compact. Being 150lbs. I liked it. My question, is the GG 200 smaller in the same way the KTM 200 is smaller. I'm looking for a lighter bike but don't want another KTM.

Only the gasgas 125 has the smaller chassis like the ktm 125/200. |

The 125 frame is still the same as the 250 frame just different mounting brackets for the motor.

Im 150lbs as well and would have considered a 2012 200 if it were smaller like the ktm.

On the subject of the EC 200, I'm considering buying one, but have 3 questions:
1. I already have a 2006 EC 300, which is a brilliant bike, but I find it exhausting for local club hare and hounds because it pulls so hard right off tickover. Would the 200 be a lot easier to ride, or should I stick with my TM 125 for racing ? 2. Does anyone know if there was an EC 200 model produced in 2010 (europe / uk market). I can't find any reference to it on any of the Gas Gas sites ? I have the frame number if that helps i.d. the bike in question. 3. The bike has Sachs forks and shock. I'm a novice racer - will the sachs be noticeably different to the marzocchi / ohlins on my '06 ? I generally find soft settings on the shock and lighter oil / bigger air gap in the forks work well on most bikes
