[QUOTE="Bob Brooks, post: 282280, member: 21253"] Choosing between a GG and a KTM truly depends on the rider and what you're looking for. I own a KTM 300 MXC, I had a YZ400 last year and I recently took a trail ride on a 300 Gas Gas. The Gas Gas is very smooth and tractable. I thought the power on the 300 GG was linear, almost electric in delivery. It was super smooth which is nice in tight woods and snotty conditions. However, compared to my KTM and the YZ400 I rode last year, I felt the power was a little on the soft and flat side. My KTM definitely has more of a hit and snap than the GG, which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the rider and the conditions. For me, my KTM is just more fun to ride. The GG is too smooth for my tastes; I just don't think the motor is as fun as my Katoom. I did like the ergonomics on the GG and there's no doubt that it steers a little quicker than the KTM. The previous posts that remarked on the GG bikes fitting smaller riders are accurate. The layout of the Gas Gas is more compact, while the KTM is longer and roomier. After stepping off your WR400, I think you'll find the power of the GG a little underwhelming. The 300EC that I rode felt a little slow, although that is admittedly a deceptive feeling because of the superb hook-up and smoothness. I would definitely take a ride on one before you make any decision. They're both wonderful motorcycles, it's just a matter of pesonal preference and what you're looking for. One of my good riding partners rides a GG and he adores it, while I love my KTM. We wouldn't switch bikes for anything. [/QUOTE]
