Default Describe the 200 power characteristics

I am interested in purchasing a GG 200 if/when any arrive in th US. Can anyone describe the power characteristics for me? I know the motor is 250/300 based. Because of this does the motor have a lot of crank inertia? I currently have a 2012 KTM 250 xc-w and am really looking for something with a lighter feel in New England single track. I weigh 175 pounds and am over 6 feet tall. I am also interested in the Beta 200, the sherco 125 and perhaps the ktm/HUSKY 150. My son has a 2015 HUSKY TE 125 that is pretty nice but I need electric start and am tired of the sub par ktm suspension.
Thanks,
Chris

The 200 does share many similarities with the 250/300s but the crank is smaller and lighter but not near as light as a 125. The 200 does have good low end power and it revs up top well too. You can tune the power band to your specific needs. The 200 GG is a nice bike. If you decide you need more you can always do a big bore kit and bring it up to 236cc.

I had a 12 200, really liked the engine. The 200 is very smooth, not as rammy as the ktm 200. I would have bought a new one but they really dropped the ball on that. So I went with a 19 sherco 125, I really like it also, runs as strong as the 200 on mid-top. It's also very light and nimble on rocky goat trails.
If the 200's ever show up it would be one of my top choices, but I would check the weight and steering lock to lock first.
