Shoooosshhhhh! We don't want everyone knowing about GasGas. Then, every Tom, Dick, and Harry will have one at the races and our advantage will be lost!
Keep it a secret....

Yeah, KTM is in a world of hurt with their 1/4 POS cap. Their poor response on this issue will be their downfall. With many diehard KTM fans pissed off, now is the time to easily get new customers.

KTM just plain sucks at customer service, one reason I'm a GasGas rider. This cap issue is a slap in the face and a serious safety issue. The bikes are not that great otherwise to justify this.
I talked to a couple KTM riders at the race last Sunday, that are switching to other bikes, GasGas and Yamaha. They were part of the orange herd but are now saying why? Tired of suspension issues, now the cap is the last straw. |

There is more to this than meets the eye. If its so simple, and the company stands to loose so much money, why would they not straighten things out? Its business, not two kids fighting over a toy. I'm not saying there is no problem but I'm sure there is more to it.

I agree with you absolutely...there is more than this than meets the eye, As I understand that Dixe is a Green Company and no one really in the comapny rides or cares..they do it for the money...and they want out of the combustion business.....
and it is sad to say becuase GASGAS..has made a dent in the population here in the US...and they have a small but loyal following same as Husaberg...and Husky soon will be TM |

I'm sure that IF gg quits importing or they otherwise implode then most gg riders will switch to some other exotic. I know I will. GG has the complete package when it comes to the bike itself and I'm sure we would be looking beyond the big 5 manufacturers for something similar to GG. TM, Beta, Husaberg, Husky (primed to make it the big 6 w/ BMW money), Sherco, Vertmati etc will all get a shot at the GG market. I for one don't know which way I would lean but it would probably be the direction that would be the closest to the gg 2 stroke experience.

If GasGas were to fail in the US, it would hurt TM as well. Anyone who got burned would be shy of exotics and head for safe ground. The winners would be the big 4 and KTM. Husky also, they are looking good lately. So, I think the small guys need to pull for each other.
Oh, TM motors were used in GasGas chassis until '97. |
