We were also the one of the only bikes in the test that went to weigh in with the lights installed as instructed. BTW, we are preparing for the 2009 Torture Test now.

Most of those guys had already ridden the KTM and are use to it. I wonder what would have happened with a little more seat on the GG???

You can see the GasGas in the DR test pictures has aluminum handguards and skidplate, adding about 5 lbs.
It is disappointing to see the GasGas show up with the added weight penalty of an aluminum skid plate and full wrap aluminum hanguards when the others usually arrive without a skid plate and minimal plastic handguards. My '06 EC300 brand new out of the crate with the DS stuff (100 watt coil, headlight, tail light, signals, horn, rear fender extension, odo/speedo) no gas, no trans oil weighed 237 lbs.

Another note about that test...I put the motor together at the very last minute before we drove to the event, with no time at all for testing. The first time the engine ran was when Jimmy Lewis jumped on it to do the drag and speed tests. The bike was so rich that it absolutely would not run on at all on the main, it just coughed and sputtered all the way down the track and suffered worst in the 3rd gear roll-on test. Considering that, we did very well against all the big 4 strokes at the test. I think we would have set the quickest standing-start times if not for the jetting. As soon as we got the bike back, we dropped the needle, went down two main sizes and the bike RIPPED!!! It was kind of cool sitting in the pit area and watching all of the heads turn when the 300 went up the big Glen Helen hills on the pipe. This year we will have time to do some testing before we turn the bike over to the wrecking crew.

Somewhere I have some early dirt rider, cycle news tests of the GG 250's.. like 97-98-99's. If I can find them I'll scan them and post them up,, should be a good read as they were a real rare bike back then. BP219? dont know if he still post here gave me printed copies when I got my 97 from Him.. I traded my 98 KTM 300exc for my 97 250ec straight up.. met him at his shop in rootstown ohio(rootstown GasGas-shut down not long after).
