Undeniably valid though.. and if someone was to be fishing.. well you could say the fish are nibbling

At least you get it 3 months after the competition.. Gets closer to 12 here in Australia.. Never the less, we all still keep flying the flag. Don't let someone elses frustrations get you down. Things could be worse.. we could be riding rebadged ktms

He is absolutely right. I think we all share the same feelings......

Despite the management, the bike handles better than anything out there. Motor is sweet. The right Suspension combo is pretty good.

Sort of not liking the pretty girl, not bc of the girl, but bc her parents annoy you. She would be fine on her own merit.

This isn't antagonistic/trollish? In a Gas Gas forum?


If bitching on a forum ever changed how GG built a bike, then we would all been on 200lb DI FI Wide Ratio Auto Clutched Adjustable PV from the factory 2 strokes for 10 years now.

They don't listen to their importer or their dealers, and they surely don't listen to us on this forum. So all this so called "crusade" to get them to change is just noise in the system and negativity.
.....Well put!....

I predict brisk sales of light blue fork guards ...

2015 models is going to be interesting.

Is a little disheartening to see the excitement and growth of the offroad market, only to see KTM owning three of them.

My thoughts exactly Steve ... was looking it over and thinking not bad, nothing to rock the boat and then wtf is that yellow doing there???!?

Another question (not ktbergana also newer GG and beta) why are the newer bike linkages not as tucked in as earlier bikes. My 2010 is a lot lower profile than the current version of log anchors what is the reason behind the new configuration

I must be sick. I like the yellow

Good question Matt. All to do with the leverage ratio and the rate at which the suspension rises. I'd say the newer linkages add a more progressive curve to the action of the swingarm and shock (softer initially, and firming up more the deeper it gets). Its just another tuning variable and we all want bikes that handle the little bumps plushly, while also resisting bottoming resistance. No more PDS kick Also, the length of the swingarm (or axel position) changes the ratio. Moving the back wheel in closer makes everything stiffer overall.
