Right with you on this bru!:D

Parts are still available for the Italian Husqvarna's thru KTM/Husqvarna. The tech trainer in Temecula came from the old Husqvarna and provides help for those bikes and they keep the FI scan tool to send to dealers for those bikes. I don't know very much about those bikes but I regularly get parts for some pretty old units.

I think the worry of parts availability is a bit over blown. In the US they are required by law to make and sell parts for a minimum of 10 years. Since Gas Gas has used a lot of same components for so long even the older bikes should still have parts available.

That never happens though! They rely on people getting frustrated & giving up & buying new. They just say it's on backorder continually until they get a decent number of requests then maybe they'll do a run. Who's gonna enforce it anyway?
Parts in Australia weren't great at the best of times

Indeed a lot of parts are still available but there's plenty of bike stoppers ya can't get any more.

I hear people say this. Do you have proof of this law? I've never seen it. Also if a company ceases to exist as it was before then I'm not sure its possible. All that to say I have no issues getting parts from the aftermarket for my 20 year old gasgas

I know in the automotive world, they have to provide parts and service for ten years.
I have never found this to be true.

i suspect this is the loophole. Probably need to provide 10 years of parts if its still the same company. how do you force a bancrupt company for example to remain open for 10 years. BUT gasgas still exists so maybe not a problem!

Those of you who feel very strongly about this should just stock up on barrels and pistons and other gasgas specific parts as an investment to sell on later

Interesting GG update from KTM
 

I see this as the beginning of the end (but I hope that i am wrong): https://www.motorcycle.com/mini-feat...re-tourer.html

File size too big to post.

Going to keep the 300 (i've owned it for 12 years) I hope for a long time.

Even the four strokes have a nice pipe now :D
