chassis platform, they all feel
slightly different. Our test riders
commented on the Husky's
high handlebars, as they did the
GasGas' low handlebars, giving
these two bikes a distinctively
different feel. The KTM's bars
are somewhere in the middle or
"just right."
Some of our testers say the
Sherco is a little cramped, while
others have no issues. The Beta,
says one tester, feels like a
motocrosser because of its no-
ticeably slim profile (and barky
motor, of course).
The bottom line, they all are
comfortable with their own per-
sonalities and are easy to adapt
to, but the KTM is perhaps the
most "neutral" of the group.
BEST BIKE
ALL-AROUND?
We did ask our testers to rate
the bikes, and as we expected,
the positionings were all over
