Default EC300 '08 six days

Hello, glad I found this forum, lots of info and experience here. I want to sum up a few questions about the Gas Gas, I'm looking at a GG EC300, it's a '08 model and the graphics say six days, what does that mean? Is that somehow different from a non-six days bike if there were any such. How about the '08 model, are there any issues or flaws. And how are the GGs in terms of reliability, quality bikes? This bike is in mint condition and hardly ridden and can be had for about half the price of a new one. Cheers and thanks.
BB.

The '08 is a very good year. Mine is an '08, and has been flawless.
All years are reliable.

Some others may know the difference in a six days model, but it doesn't really matter. A like new '08 for half the cost of new is a great deal.

Dido that...I have an 08 and it gets pounded on a weekly basis...nothing has failed yet.
Also, the 08 has the updated clutch basket and aluminum water pump impeller...at least mine did.

Turns out it's a '07 model only ridden about 600 miles it has '09 plastic with six days graphics, anyway I think it is a good deal and I think I will take the plunge! This will be my first Gas Gas. The GG dealer here can get me '11 plastic and graphics for a reasonable price, so looks very tempting.

Thats a good looking bike! When I bought my first GasGas a couple of weeks ago I had some worries to. But after the first ride I was hooked!

Took it out today for a little test ride and boy what a fun (I was late for dinner!) so light and nimble, seems like gravity lost a bit of power, already started to love this bike. Thanks for the 'grats and I think I'll be using my shrouds a bit longer;-)
