Jeff, that's what I heard too. Which reinforces the case I set forth earlier, that GG had a major "brain drain" on 4T technology to Sherco. GG did make a cool side valve 4T engine for the trials bike since the FSE, but I'm not up to speed on how well it caught on.
As far as Beta supplying engines to GG, I'll believe it when I see it. I think Beta is happy for now with their approach of selling 4T's engines all over the world, as long as they are wrapped in a Beta chassis.
Might as well wish for Yamaha to develop a 6 speed 4T motor, that seems just as (un)likely. I've made my points, I'm done posting about it, we'll all see what happens.
