Default 2010 euro spec 300 Race model??

I after being away from modern bikes for 3 years I commited to a '10 euro spec 300 race which is different than the US race model as it has ohlins front/rear vs. sachs (?). It has the heavier ignition. Full euro light kit/controls,etc.

Anybody know more about it? Problems, concerns, suspension issues... just looking for feedback.

Thanks!

It is the best bike that GasGas do think of an ultra trick Six Days with harder suspension. You will not be disappointed

Me too, couldnt be happier. Great bike.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news though, unless its different spec again to the AUS version, they still have Sachs on the front, but they are a different spec again from the 2010 US race version. No external preload and different valving.

Still alot better than the Zokes IMHO.



Funny though i thought AUS was the only ones to get this model. Does it have EURO stickers on the forks and small ones on the airbox covers?
Like on this one..... Shameless pic whore
Basically the US Race version, with a few different bits, mostly gold bling

So you like the Sachs forks better than the Zokes? I've never ridden one with Sachs so I don't know but I sure like the Zokes better than the WP on the KTMs. The Zokes on my 06 were excellent to me. Why did you like the Sachs over the Zokes?

IMO fast riders and or open GNCC riders seem to prefer the Sachs above the zokes. Zokes work best for the average clubman/woods rider.

Lots of factory bikes use the Zokes.

Yup... blinkers and all, it was imported via Euro as a non US version... no Ohlin forks?? I really want the Ohlins forks over anything... I loved my 06 but really HATED my 07 due to changes they made in the ignition(heavier) and the forks... odd as both were Zokes... Hoping this 10 is vastly improved!!!

Might have to reconsider with Sachs upfront...
