Christini Gasgas

[2 strokes 4 life]

They have a prototype Gasgas EC300 AWD bike.
Here is a link http://www.motorcycleshows.com/motor...tegoryId=37754

I want one if it will fit my 2002.

I just got back from the show in NYC and saw the bike. I talked to the Christini guys and asked why a kit for GG before, say, a Yamaha? The GG frame is easy to work with fitting the kit and the bike does look very clean. They spent some time in Spain, and claim the ultimate goal is to have the AWD as a factory option. They also told me the new GG 250F prototype they saw is VERY nice!

Nice find.
With Geoff Aaron back on Gas Gas, maybe he'll ride one of these.

Girard, I was pissed at myself for not bringing my camera! I didn't expect anything new like that. Maybe you guys will see it at LMS '09. It was on a stand so you couldn't sit on it, but it was the cleanest Christini conversion yet, IMO. It will be a rock crawling tractor with the 300 motor.

I think a AWD bike would be great for hill climbs and muddy sections.

when i was first exposed to gasgas i was planning on buying a honda 450 (thinking id be able to save up enough to buy the kit) glad i didnt for 2 reasons, my gasser in 1 wheel drive is imo better than a honda w 2! and im way to broke to get it. the idea that i can again is very warm and fuzzy
looks like carb adjustments might b harder, with the covers on at least

Christini and GasGas have been working together on this project for a couple of years now and the results are just starting to be made public.

Using an EC300 as a Christini 2X2 platform is a match made in heaven as the GasGas's perimeter frame and bullet proof reliability are unmatched by any other manufacturers motorcycles.

I’m glad the word is out now as its been kinda hard to sit back and keep the partnership quite.

Look for more exciting announcements to come.

I talked to the Christini guys in Romania, where Geoff had major overheating issues with his KTM (imagine that). They told me they had something in the works, but I never dreamt they'd have something out already. Once I have the money for a stable of bikes, a Christini EC300 will definitely be one of them.

how bulletproof is it? i mean how hard can it be ridden for how long?
im pretty gentle(imo) but sometimes i do get a little over cocky and hit it.
what kind of maintanence does in require and how often?
i sent an email to them but havent received a response yet.
going to guess it would be in the ktm price bracket, but since it seems to be an easier build, maybe honda 450 (or less!?!)bracket..?

By design the Christini's front wheel drive system needs a lot of attention compared to the stock rear chain drive so as long as the user can adjust to the required maintenance schedules and routines they should be happy with the "on demand" front wheel drive benefits.
