Remember that although it has a similar displacement, the KTM has a much, much better suspension (43mm USD forks) than any of its competition, a stiff trellis-frame and ABS comes standard. I see it as a more complete package at a slight premium. Whereas the other bikes in the category are way better as budget/entry level/commuter bikes, this is closer to a small displacement track toy/race bike.

Also, thumper.
