Well i for one am pleased that the brand will continue, specially as i just aquired a gasgas txt pro300 trial bike. Hopfully this means spare parts available when needed.
They'd be like old husky wouldnt they have enough aftermarket suppliers that oem isn't so critical?! Not sure bout trials side of things tho. Parts didn't stop either did it-thort they had a skeleton crew doin parts this whole time? Trials bike eh juicy. This mean wen u back down under we can go play in the rock quarry n log tracks some more without you destroying my bike?!!!
Yup trials bike so i can pop it an hop it like a boss. Thats the plan anyway. Not sure how bad i can smash up your bike but i will give it ago! Not sure who troys directing his post at with motor switch but i was on about clutch baskets kickstart idle gears etc. Whole motors can be swapped if the price is right. And the name gas gas will live on not torrot that sounds like a bad fairgrounds fortune teller "mrs torrot"
POST #60 SAYS THEY WILL BE USING HUSKY MOTORS...WHY? TORROT DIDNT GET THE TOOLING FOR THE MOTORS IN THE DEAL?? WTH
GG bought the designs for the husky motors before the bankruptcy and now torrot will be using them in the GG's. I'm assuming it's new tech we didn't see with husky though because i can't imagine them buying motor designs similar to their own (2 strokes). They never had their own 4 stroke motors though, they used yamahas engines but for whatever reason they weren't allowed to sell them in the US
Gas Gas had the 400 and the 450 motor that was not a yamaha engine ! in fact it was closer to a Suzuki engine to look at than a Yam View attachment 63709
es but are those sort of problem child bikes????With faulty this and that???? There are quite a few Gasser four strokes floating around with Yamaha engines if you search....
Great interview the real poop!May have to use translate.google.com http://www.enduromagazine.com/entre...-tal-nivel-de-calidad-jamas-en-esta-compania/
Interview has been translated and revised to English as of today. Problem is, the file is now so big, I cannot share it. Have asked for a PDF without all the pictures...will see if it gets sent over.
The name of this thread should be changed to "The Rise Of The Gas Gas Phoenix" as the current name "Gas Gas factory closing" is doing a great disservice, since Gas Gas can now continue.
