Yeah - comparison is based on what's available new - the GPX is 138kg Dry weight and the VTR is 140kg - course with the Kwak you get a full fairing and it's $1,000 cheaper - swings and roundabouts really - Personally I like the sound of the VTR and the torque coupled with the low weight means it punches above it's weight from a standing start. I've also put a little Givi fairing on the bike which makes a difference (for me) of about 10kph at the top end.
So is this new Yamaha a 250 or a 225? there seems to be a wee bit of conflict of opinion about that.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
