Why I love my GasGas

[Lex P]

Why is the Gasgas such a fine motorbike?, I dont know......
My bike spends as much time in the shop getting repaired, re-adjusted, re-tyred or lowered as it does in my garage.
Its kept me awake at night, me wondering why i dont just buy a Yamaha or Honda but I cant bear to sell out on her......er I mean it..

1. Its fuel injected
2. electric start
3. Unusual brand name
4. It's not one of those orange coloured bikes that every sheep buys.
5. Its not one of those blue coloured bikes that every sheep buys.
6. If a ranger finds me on crown land or a restricted land reserve and i
escape before he catches me I get a huge laugh when I see a poor
XR Honda rider getting hassled. (similar looking bikes)
7. I'm the only one in my town who has one.
8. I take a lot of crap from my buddies about it but my Gasgas is the first
bike up the hills.
9. Gasgas riders are the nicest pp

10. Why dont other Gasgas riders continue this and add their thoughts......

Why I love my GasGas:
1) Handles like a dream in the tight stuff.
2) Rarely breaks down (usually my fault).
3) Zippy engine is a blast to ride.
4) Great suspension. Even better now that it's revalved for me.
5) I love the looks I get when people see my bike. A Gas-what?
6) Did I mention the handling in the tight stuff?

I'm sold on GasGas. Next year I'll be buying a new EC250 provided my bank account is good.

Motor rocks! Suspension rocks! Rocks in the rocks!
Just simply rocks! Too bad my older model is
Pink! Darn 90's and their flamboyant color schemes!
Although I guess it's better to be riding the pink
bike than getting passed by the pink bike!

Hey Fellas, new to Gas Gas. I have been interested in these bikes for about six years now and like most, was skeptical in regards to the availability of parts, service and support. However, thanks to the internet and specifically this web site, my concerns were put to rest and I purchased a new 05 EC 250 three months ago. I have been an orange guy for many years and still own an 04 EXC 300. I must admit, since buying the Gas Gas, I have not thrown a leg over the KTM. The overall performance, handling and balance is incredible and out of the box, the Zokes and Ohlins work well together and we definitely have a few rocks out here in Arizona. So, thanks to everyone for all your technical expertise and input and a huge thanks goes out to Les @ LT Racing, what a great guy.
Rider profile:
47 years old, 5.9 @ 165 lbs.
Was once a fast guy, but multiple shoulder and knee injuries/surgeries have resulted in discretion winning out over exuberance, I suppose now days I would be considered a B+ rider.
05 EC 250 equipped with:
E-line pipe guard
CRD Skid plate
CRD radiator guards
LTR jet kit
Power now and power now plus carb modes (FYI, you need both to gain true performance advantage)
LTR case saver
LTR chain guide
LTR power valve cover
Scotts steering stabilizer
Pro taper bars
Moose hand guards
ICO check mate enduro computer
Dunlop 803 trials tires ft and rear
Gas Gas 125cc shift lever
Gas Gas riders’ club tech tip (Under set tool storage mod)

Welcome, and good luck with your GG. Looks like you have a good setup as well.

I would not love my Gas Gas if it spent too much time in the shop. To the contrary, my 04 300 is probably the best bike I've ever owned. Reliable as a stone axe and much less vibration and smoother power delivery than the KTM 300s that I thought were so good before I rode a Gasser. In fact, I like it so much that when I decided to buy a sport quad, there was no other one I even considered than the 300HP. I've had it about two years and am totaly in love with it as well. Great products!

I come home after 2 weeks at work fuel it up check oil & coolant, an get on it an just go hard & fast for a couple of days and park it wash it & leave for another 2 weeks an it will start first time each time ,now that is a great bike!

Why do I love my Gas Gas? Why am I on my third one?
Easy:

I loved my original '99 GG200 ec for it's superior handling, the 250 for the same, but more power, now the 300 for yet the same reason.

The bike is for me the best chassis out there, nothing else comes close to the turning prowess, or the planted feel. I waited weeks before mounting my Scotts damper, and while I think every bike needs one, it wasn't bad without it.

The Ohlins fork is absolutely incredible, never mind that old dead car parked in the middle of the trail, just ride right over it, the bike won't care, won't buck you off, and will keep going straight.

why i love my Gas Gas;

it handles like a dream,
inspires confidence in me,
will pull me out of the nasty situations i keep landing in,
great brakes,
awesome suspension,
easy to start,
nice and comfy to ride,
it flogs the guts out of my old CRF150f
and it will last me a few years.

my next bike will probably be a new EC250, or even 300, depends on how long i stick with the 200. at least 2 years though

I love my Gas Gas '02 XC 300 because it pulls my large carcass around with no effort. It climbs hills like a mountain goat and lugs and chugs without complaining. Always starts well. Reliable as a rock. Great boingers(once adjusted) handles the tight stuff exceptionally. Forgives my mistakes(which are many). Long story short....what's not to like?
