Shame. I was really hoping GG could capture that market and bring a lot more riders to the brand. That said, get us the GP's.
I would like to see all the same improvements on getting the bike lighter (engine design) and an upgraded starting system. It would probably also be smart for them to get in to the 4T market again with something in the 300-350cc range, however, they got to get it right the first time so I hope they tread very slowly and cautiously before releasing one.

I honestly wouldn't change anything chassis or suspension or running gear wise. Love the current engine too but a lighter/smaller version would be a nice upgrade. Keep it all mechanical(PV/carb) as long as possible.
I reckon a 320-340cc 4T to break the mould a little. But ya dead right they gotta nail it first go as 4Ts haven't been their strong point in years past. Maybe a couple more years of quality 2T production. Unfortunately they miss half the market without 4Ts(unlike Sherco/Beta/TM) so hamstring their sales somewhat.
