2020 Gassers.

[shawbagga]

Is it too early to start wondering/guessing what's in store for MY '20?
Anyone got any inside info for new models or the business as a whole?
How is GG traveling financially(sales numbers/stability).
Spare parts production upped.
Increased aftermarket/hard parts.

Anyway I'm just bored so thought I'd start a small fire in here!

Still waiting for a damn 200 to be available in Aus!

Would love to see a mid sized (300/350) 4T added to the range.

I have no evidence for this at all but the feeling I get from speaking to dealers in the UK is that the factory is not running at all well and that they fear that it may all go pear shaped again.

UK sales are well below expectation and spares are getting more and more eratic in delivery from Spain. Weekly deliveries became fortnightly and are now monthly. I was waiting 2 months for a front fender, for instance. This is despite some excellent results from supported riders.

I have yet to see an EC200 in the UK either in a dealer or in the wild. I have a riding buddy who has an EC Ranger in order. He was told 2 weeks delivery but it has been 3 months now. The UK importer is pulling his hair out.

It's simple ,if Gas Gas add counter balancer and inner electric starter like other brands ,they will be on the top .If i remember correctly ,their target was for selling 3000 bikes per year.And i think ,that they sold a lot more from the new models 2018-2019 than older 2012-2017 era .

Certainly, they need to kill that excessive vibration before either KTM sort out TPI or Beta get some proper suspension. If either of those happen 1st, they will be in dire trouble.

Don't ride a '19 Beta then.. Its still Sachs.. But its MUCH better than their '18 and back stuff. Still doesn't shine a light on KYB, but at least I wasn't swearing at the bike on the test ride.

GasGas is making incredible bikes, but they have to pull their crap together or this is gonna end badly. They still have time, but its running out quickly. Everywhere I look I see guys who can't get their hands on bikes that they want to buy.. Rangers are delayed, GP's are delayed, and now the TXT GP was just pulled from the site. People WANT GG bikes.. But they aren't going to wait around forever for them. And they aren't going to be burned twice. TRS and Vertigo are their only real competition in trails bikes right now, and TRS is killin' it out there, Beta and Sherco are growing daily around here, while GasGas people are twiddling their thumbs waiting for bikes that might very well be better.
Is a better bike that never appears really better???
