New 2011 Gas Gas EC 300 (Electric Start)

[onegreyghost]

Gas Gas has dropped off a new GG 300 electric start for me to ride until they sort out my six days bike. I am going to do my best at trying to attach some pics.

What?!?
They must have got the wrong address.
I was expecting the bike this week.

Good luck with the ISDE.

Is this the way they will come? or is this one equipped different?

I hope it will have the Ohlins rear.

Nice
Not a fan of the handle bar mounted choke, unless I was running the Baja

Don't get too caught up on this guys - this is a pre-production bike. The factory's specs list Sachs forks with updated damping and a Sachs shock with improved oil as stock on the 2011 ECs, but they have not released detailed specs for the estarter 250 and 300s. The shock at least is a reasonable expectation for RACE versions.

Expect that the "off-road only" countries will get the carb mounted choke on the spin-off-top Keihin carb. The FMF Turbine Core silencer in the US for ECs was an importer add in 2010; the factory has gone FMF throughout the range in 2011.
