Dealer demos
 
Demos seem to be up to the dealers at this point, will there be any gas gas supported demos in the future? I'm thinking of going back to a 200 but I need to ride one in this brand first i have a 2008 ec 300 now. Thanks

I am sure you can get a chance to demo one of the new bike. What state do you live in.

Gas Gas Offroad only has two full time employees at this point so it's hard to put on demos. I have a 200 coming back from the Air Group team now that the National Enduro series is over. Where do you live?

I will have a 2011 200 you can ride but I was hoping you were a little closer to TN.

How do the newer 200s run? I'm considering this as well, as I'll keep my 250 for awhile too. I think I'd like slightly less bike for harescrambles and less technical enduros.

The 200's are popular up here we have alot of tight single track riding it would be cool to see something different than the orange bikes out on the trails and at races. My dealer has one but I want to ride one before I buy one.

I haven't ridden a 200 yet. I'm going to get this one shipped here so I can ride it. I've had a ton of people ask me this and I don't know what to tell them. The 2012 should run the same because the engine won't be substantially different.

I am also intrigued by the 200. I absolutely loved my KTM200's and KDX's. That 200cc motor is just about perfect for our tight NW woods. I have never ridden a Gasgas, but from everything I've read it seems like it could be a perfect fit. KDX-like motor with Gasgas suspension and ergos. IMO the KTM was too snappy and the KDX motor with mods was just about perfect.

But, one thing I like about my DE300 is that I dont have to be as busy as I was on the smaller bikes. I really like how my 300 can carry a gear high coming out of corners and in the tight stuff. It also seems to track a bit better and seems more planted, maybe because of the extra weight or inertia.

There are certainly trade-offs with each bike.

I just need both a Gasgas 200 and 300 to solve this dilemna:D
