Support it or help me out. Pick one.
I guess some of the parts that are not available anymore can be replaced by newer parts, provided you opt for the transformation kit. I believe that is GG's way of supporting the older bikes in the long run. The kit is actually quite nicely priced, and you get rid of older plastic, seat, lamps etc that may no longer be available.

No, this isn't Honda. I don't know much about Honda spares availability, but I have several other european bikes where the spares are a problem. In my world, spares support for my GG is actually the best among my bikes. More than once I have been impressed with the Norwegian importer's stock of spares for my 06 EC200. OTOH, my GG is also the newest in my stable, so perhaps I shouldn't be supriced ?
