Saturated or not, GasGas selling a 250f will have little to no effect on the market, since only loyal GG owners will buy it anyway.

Yes, a very small production run for sure if the 500 motor # is in fact accuarate. I see the WEC having little or no bearing on this as most bikes will be bought by avarage Joe rider for local racing/riding. Eventually with their own motor I can see more WEC GG participation perhaps.
If the pictures that were pulled were not accurate and GG Spain is indeed watching these posts give us some real pics of the bike with the Yammi motor. (carb access looked brutal from those I thought)
When they do come out (and just how close is this thing really I would like to know) with their own motor it should be:
Built to handle from 250cc to 350cc without major alterations
Small and light weight (like the Sherco, KTM or new Husky motor)
FI would be preferred with kick starter backup
6 speeds (please oh please NOT a 5 speed)
Hydro clutch of course
Stock cooling fan to control heat buildup
Good lighting power
Quiet
US street legal
Easy to work on
?????????? (Please add your own ideas)
Bike should weigh around 230lbs dry at most
