NEW! GasGas EC250 4-stroke w/Yamaha Engine!

[GasGasSouthWest]

Hey all,
I received an email yesterday from Dale (US Importer) regarding a
new 4-stroke EC250 with a Yamaha engine. Spain needs to know what the
market is in the US before they proceed. We would appreciate any input
that you can give regarding this bike. Here is a partial copy of the email
from Spain:

Dear all,

As you know, we had been working in a new EC 250 4 strokes.

Finally we have the first protoype running, and it's a great bike which
unites a reliable engine as the Yamaha 250 4 strokes and our great frame.

Our mechanics are really impressed with the bike!!

Attached you can see two photos.

This is not the definitive version, maybe the graphics will be different, or
some components will be more racing (front forks, brakes...). Nothing that
would change the price too much.

This bike will fit a Yamaha engine, and that's why the production of this
model will work in a different way than the rest of our range.

We need to know how many units we are going to sell, and also when we will.
We will only make three productions a year of this bike, no more.

To be able to serve all the bikes on time, and in order to buy the engines
to Yamaha Company, we'd like to have a real forecast.

Anual forecast: The number of bikes you think you'll be able to sell. Is not
an order, is just an estimation of the market in your countries.

1st, 2nd and 3rd order: This are the importants. This will give me the
number of bikes I know I'll have to produce. It means that if you think that
your market could sell 100 units but you only want to start with 50, the
total amount must be 50.

Then later, if we have enough engines and production times, you'll be able
to add more, but always the priority will be for the older orders.

If we don't recieve signed and stamped orders (it's not a contractual order,
is just a compromise that you'll order them), we won't keep going with this
bike.

We have a lot of hopes in that bike, and according to the information you
have sent us, there's a big potential with it.

In a nearly future maybe we will release a 450 version, but not yet.

Please, if you have any questions about that do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks a lot and best regards.

PS: I must have all the orders signed, stamped, scanned and emailed back
before 23rd May.
