Gas Gas is alive and well in the USA. Demand for the bikes is up. Unfortunately last year, after 2 years of excessive overstock, the distributor severely underestimated demand. A mistake that can be near fatal for a low volume brand. Rumors fly, people get scared and buy for comfort rather than quality.
If what I am hearing is true, Gas Gas is poised to have a very good 2007 (and beyond) in the US market.
Keep your eyes peeled.
...and thats what I know about something I know nothing about!
