Is the 2013 EC 300 too heavy?

Yeah Rick, call a dealer. Don't believe what the same set of scales tells you. Probably affected by sunspots.

You're the one calling dealers and asking salesman. I'm the one who put both bikes on a scale... I'll admit I had been using some chlorinated brake cleaner that day but I sure wasn't high..

Also please don't go starting false rumours on here about the new GasGas frame and swingarm. While I have my own assumptions as to the origin of their manufacture I can assure you they are NOT '15 KTM parts. Again I know this because I got out a set of callipers and took some measurements..
This isn't my first time around dirtbikes. I trust you've had GG bikes far back. But the stuff you're spouting is the same line I've heard from every KTM dealer I've visited this year. And I've checked the facts with my own two eyes. You're incorrect my friend.

Funny how I started the thread regarding a 2013 ECR 300 which is REALLY HEAVY!
I cant wait to get a newer lighter bike- I guess at least 5-10 kg.

not calling dealers and not gonna arque...believe what you want to. The frame is very similar to a 15 ktm style frame.. is what I should have said. My bad. but understood they build there own..the swingarm is up in the air and no rumor wanted to fly ..could be made by anyone..for the record..ive run many orange bikes over...many ..still will..in 91 when ktm was going to file bankrupt I was happy..they got lucky found and investor...i rode husky since 86 and I don't bleed orange..im gonna try to get a chance to ride a new gas gas..but my superiors in the know claim because of my fixation with weight of a bike I will be disappointed (these guys are not biased) not dishing gas gas at all..read some other posts..there are others out there who know the truth...about the weight..i don't want to have a childish argument..its all good..we both think we are right. No problem. I respect all opinions.
