Rob: Thanks. I hadn't heard of the gas-gas, but it looks interesting.  The seat height is 34" and the Yamaha ttr 125 e is 30", but the gas-gas has a 21" front wheel vs. the 18" on the Yamaha.  I worry about how much harder it might be to bounce over stuff with the smaller wheels.  But I also worry that the gas-gas dealer is about 4 hours away from me......   I have a KTM dealer pretty close (but that's a 37" seat) and I have a friend (not real close, but a friend) who has a Yamaha dealership and has quoted me an excellent price.  Plus there is the whole 2 vs 4 stroke thing ....  on the flip side, I am very excited about the vintage bikes and races.  ... more food for thought...
