Finally read the May 2001 DR article on the GG XC250 and other test bikes. Hang on... I'm dragging over the dead horse to beat it.
Now, the GG was an XC model. The one with the light flywheel. That some people on this site and Smackover feel is a quick, easy to stall motor. And they, Dirt Rider, call it a heavy flywheeled, slow revving (but very smooth) tractable motor. What's up with that? In fact they compared it to an E-Line setup ~10oz. flywheel. So what's the EC like? A 16oz. flywheel? And the MC model, standard Jap MX bike?
In all they loved the bike but reserved their highest accolades for anything made by KTM!
