Default Will Gasgas stay with the 200? No more KTM

So with KTM no longer going to carry the 200, and no Beta or Sherco 200 models, I wonder if Gasgas will continue on with their 200 in the future.

Seems like there is a market for the 200's, just not sure how big a market that is? I've always enjoyed the 200's and feel they are very effective in the tight woods terrain and are just plain fun to ride.

Just rode a '15 KTM 200 and '15 Beta 250RR back to back and the 200 seemed narrower and more nimble.

I hope they will. In our family we now have 3 different 200s, and I think I might upgrade to a new 200 again some years into the future.

There has been rumours of a Sherco 125 with a bigger brother of 170cc or so, but it remains to be seen if it ever arrives on the market. I really hope it does, as a lot of people would have great fun on a bike that size. However, in many countries there are no racing class where a 200 fits well. I guess that might be some of the reason why the Orange one disappeared.

I really hope so! With GG being the only 200 out there, I see a big window to grab some market share in the US. Lots of people like the 200's, for good reason.

By far my #1 choice as i have owned at least 10 or so. In fact I have 3 now and i believe KTM will bring it back . We still have that class in our enduros .

I feel like KTM has a lot of 150's left, and will return the 200 in a year or so, imho
