For me, less is more. No need for a dozen models, so I second the original reply.
Two strokes in kick only or e-start, all but the 125. Truthfully, I'd like to see a 150. It is nice that our bikes chime with lights. Front and rear please. I don't give a rip about four strokes. If GG is going to sell them, that Yamaha powered 250 seems okay. The big one is a pile though (my opinion). I wouldn't bother. Maybe buy someone else's engine for that too. Not that it matters to me. Maybe there is trouble back East with two stroke trail bikes, but we have no such problem in the PNW. It may be coming, but at some point, if the demand for two strokes is high enough, the producers will make them, and make them legal.

I'm too new to the brand to be taken seriously, but I think there's something to be said for less models. As a GG newbie, I'm swimming in a pool of confusion about what I bought and what is available. Simplification is a good thing IMHO. Just a thought.

Perhaps GG could get Ohlins to make a TTX cartridge kit for 48mm Zokes?

Ok here's my .02......EC 150, 200, 250, and 300 standard kick start. 200, 250, & 300 EC with e-start. 250 & 300 Race/Six Days hybrid with the good race stuff (brakes, cooler, 48 mm forks, skid plate, rad braces, etc. This is the set up I would get now and what I think you are talking about Clay. I agree if they aren't out by fall just stick with the SixDay. I don't think Gasgas should go overboard with the models but don't loose sales to KTM because you don't have a 200 for the beginners or a race ready 300 for the pro's. Thank you Clay for asking our opinions I appreciate it.

Yep! Yes sir, sir yes sir LOL! I also like your idea on calling the EC's XC's. That alone with eliminate lot's of the confusion.

i rather like how ktm has their deal set up in the sense that they have a race edition (xc) and a trail (xc-w) for their two stroke enduros. if we keep the standard bike, with option of estart or not, a race edition with different suspension components and other little bells and whistles, then have the special editions for people with too much money on their hands. definately need to lay out the differences for new buyers, but being able to choose a full out race bike versus a trail hopper would be nice, and to be able to get a race ready bike without paying an arm and a leg (nambo) would be nice too.
