Guess I'm in the minority on this news. Probably because I suspect the majority of my 2013 isn't even from Spain, just assembled there. The latest platform is solid and got Gas Gas on somewhat equal ground, finally, but it was far from ground breaking in any way and where were they going to get the cash for the next edition or expanding the line? Sherco? Right now if S.P. is being truthful we will have somewhat less variation but still a choice. I'm going to wait and see what they come out with. It may be really good. If not, there are excellent alternatives. It is ok for us consumers.

My immediate thoughts are for the people that may be out to lunch after this restructuring. Their passion to try to make this a go is commendable and hopefully they land on their feet. I'm sure this is a very stressful time for them. Whether my bike is assembled in Spain vs. Austria is very insignificant compared to the disruption in people's lives.
