Does Gasgas have a room where they keep all these lovelies and just select one at random?!

If they do I haven't been in that room. I even got to go into two very securely locked rooms on the last trip over and I did not see any of those girls. Prolly temps!
Did you noticed that they have the bike clamped down to the top of that stump?
Look like there are frame guards.

I commend them for thinking outside the box. I really like the pipe location since I smash about 8 pipes a year! It's kind of cool to see all of these small Euro brands coming into the market. Reminds me of the 70's when there were a lot of Euro brands.

Yes, all '12s are Race models with the 48mm CC fork like the '11 Race. I'll be ordering mine soon as well, waiting for a quote.

Just my stinky opinion! But for the sake of the reputation of Gas Gas, I would rather they hold off putting out the new 2012 model sooo late. And put out another run of the 2011 models. Just because you know the industry mags are going to slam Gas Gas for putting it out so late. The other major competitors have already had all there new models tested and the public knows what they are gettingfor the next year. In the long run it would be better for the company as a whole. Just my thoughts!!!

Jeff Melik has had both on his '11 Race and likes the 888 better.

Really

TTX is the best I've ever had, never had a 888 though.

Strangely, Ivan Cervantes also prefers the 888 . TTX should be top of the Ohlins game .

I think the TTX is too complicated. I have a hard time setting it up.
