GasGas bikes were engineered for the harshest terrain, and I have put my 07 thru some serious hell. I like it so much I bought another! Hey, even dirt bike magazine recognizes these bikes:
"8 GAS-GAS 250 & 300, 2000 & LATER
All the Gas-Gas two-strokes were great off-road machines. But the company went through four different importers in 10 years, and availability was spotty. There are some years where there were none brought to America at all. But if you find one in good shape, don?t be afraid. They were and still are reliable bikes, and parts availability isn?t so bad."
The BEST thing about buying a gasgas is the support on this forum. Great people here. Good luck in your hunt!
