First time not owning a Yamaha since I was 13. (In my 30s now) I love this bike. Gas Gas crushed it on this one.

Wait till your forks dive down to satan, or the rear kicks you to Jesus. Wait till the frame can’t hold a corner, or your wheel bearings disintegrate. Wait till everything fucked up on that bike obliterates itself, and you’ll be going right back to Yamaha. I’ve done the exact opposite of you. I’ve raced KTM’s my whole life with nothing but consistent problems. Most of it being suspension, geometry, and handling. The rest being reliability, and poor engineering. There’s a reason amateurs have been switching from KTM’s to Yamaha’s the past 6 years. There’s soo many awful problems with that bike and they’re all due to poor engineering.
