Well, thanks to ScottyR and MarkWoodlief I was able to claim the last of only a handful of 2010 450's to enter the U.S. I absolutely adore this bike. I can't imagine a company would stop producing it...but I don't claim to be in the know.

I hope its only a temp thing for the US market.. I'd like to have a 4stroke GG and a 2 stroke in 2012 or 2013.. best of both worlds.. cause its real hard to run a 2 stroker on straight gas and do longer DS rides..

Thumbs up

Say, have U guys looked into plating your 2010's yet? Let me know how it goes when U do please. I live on the east side over here in Cashmere, Wa. and would like to plate my KDX 220 for a buddy bike eventually.
I would love to know what U guys paid for those georgous bikes too.
Do U think finding parts will be relatively easy?

I was told Australia was the only market to get the 2011 450 4T.
They sell quite a few, and are still regarded as one of the best 450 around.

I can not understand why they did not sell in the US.
I just hope Gas Gas don't do something stupid and drop it from there range or worse still put an outdated Yamaha engine in it.
The fuel injection on the 2011 GG is the best I ridden.
I love it.

I've got my temporary plate and paper work, just waiting for the seller to send an odometer disclosure form that Wa DMV requires.

But my MSO may be different than that of a KDX, so I don't know...

The US market is saturated with 450F woods bikes of every flavor. The peak of the fad is over, its 2-strokes that sell now. The only way for the GG 450 to make a dent would be for it to be an EPA legal bike, but that investment is likely not worth it considering projected sales.

i was at the australian gas gas ride day were all the 2011 models were ready for test rides.
i took the 450 and 250 4 strokes out and found myself allways going back to the 250. they both are great bikes!!
