So KTM takes ownership, everyone’s scared KTM will kill the brand, nobody buys a GG because they’re scared of being stuck with an obsolete bike, KTM doesn’t make money, they dump the brand all together, GG dies. It’s such a shame. I’ve been such a huge fan of these bikes and invested so much time and money I to the brand. The uncertainty will prevent me from ever buying another one.

I have liked Gasgas since 2005. Test rode 2013 not impressed. aT MID OHIO I got to ride the 2017 vs the 2018 ggec300 and WOW the 2018, that is a great bike. I had hoped to buy a used one next year as many move to the 2020.
NOW??? Saying that, I WILL NOT!!! WILL NOT!! But a KTM Period. I don't want to be a sheep and follow I want something different that still will perform. after going to the Columbus bike show if GG dies it will be Beta. They will let you customize your bike from the factory, bark busters, lowered, suspension etc before you pick it up at the dealership. Long live Gasgas but red is what I will ride |

That’s the way it is or will be... I ride gasgas since 2005 and I am very happy with them. I am not sure what to do now. I was thinking of buying a GP this fall but honestly right now I am not sure if I should. How about the parts availability when gasgas is orange?! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk

The question is if the trials market justifies the capital invested.
Shut down the enduro line, there goes brand loyalty and you instantly convert former GG owners to Beta/Sherco prospects Kill the brand, that's money down the drain. Invest in an electric bike know how makes sense but again that's Torrot. Circles

I doubt if the starting situation on the newer bikes has helped sales, which has lead to where we are now.

That said, there's plenty of successful examples in the automotive world with several different tiers of brands. Maybe KTM is shooting to be the first to make it work in the dirt bike world. |

Maybe closing a factory in Spain isn't that easy..... Remember, government put their money there too. I belive something will have to be made there.
KTM eliminated the biggest competitor in trials. Now they have a trusted bike and the know how. The only off road electric (non toy) procuct is the TXTe. (trials again) Good bike with clutch and gears. World champion twice. Will KTM enter urban mobility market with Torrot? Not shure if they sell well or are profitable. Time will tell. I belive they will let EC die when new euro 5 hit market. Spain factories will make anything else. Trials can benefit from hudge KTM/Red Bull marketing and fan base. Even not beeing a huge market. Trial is where all those competitors born and grow up with better bikes than those they make
