Even I'd look fast on that thing. (Operative word being "look.")

Same problem when i was a dlr, cant get bikes in the right time frame or not at all. I said they would be better off skipping a year and have bikes ready when the rest of them are coming out.

That's just a poor business model right there. The 13's need to be here, on dealers floors by mid August, to compete with KTM,not on a boat somewhere or still being assembled or redesigned. I don't doubt that this could be a make or break year coming up for GasGas US .

Clay, you gotta do something about these small fuel tanks from the factory.
MJC,
First I have to get bikes before I worry about the tank. BTW...My tank on my 2012 holds a full 3 gallons. I also believe that Mark at GF has plans with Clarke on a tank.

I was given over the phone the list of changes and almost all of it was related to the plastic.

Three gallons is fine for most of us. Jetted decent they yeild a good range. Need more than that go aftermarket. Who wants a big bulbous tank when you don't need it.

+1 on that. I usually run out of gas before the bike does anyway.

Adding the extra litre for 2012 was a good call though. I think the 9.5L is just a tad on the small side. The 2013 is looking mint and if they can just refine the 2012 a tad and get them out on time everyone should be laughing!
