I looked at Beta and Sherco before deciding on the Gasgas. What really intrigued me is the riders and the loyalty to the brand.
Thank you all for posting and making this new venture exciting for an old guy.

Welcome, and I think you will love this bike! The motor is strong, you can lug it or rev it, I like the way they are built (easy access to air filter, etc.) and the suspension is "fab"(ulous). Let us know what you think after you give it a ride or two!
I still like my '05 and can't give it up, but wanted E-start and 15 lbs. lighter. I think I have that with my '18 GG XC - it is better in every department
