Seem Gasser have embraced facebook. Some nice publicity shots in there. Pity the pics of the 450 are actually of the 250.

It is about par for the course for Gas Gas's attention to detail so it's no surprise to me.

Those EC bikes are just sooooooo sweet looking with the red hubs and red annodized fork tubes (IMO). The Six Day bike is really nice as well but I just love the red anno forks of the regular EC bikes.

Darn.....still no pictures of the new e-start motor. This is driving me nuts! I want to see that thing bad.

Also of interest and must be pollution related was this pic...

Too bad the hubs are painted red instead of annodized like the GG250f prototype you see in the pictures.

Where did you find that picture? Is it from a current model in N/A?

I have looked at all the pics I can find and none of them have the pollution stuff on them.

Yes it's on a new model bike. I think it must be a small air injection pump on the catalyst equiped Euro models.

Follow the Face Book link above and click on one of the EC bike pics to bring up a bigger picture. Then keep clicking and different pics show up. All really nice close ups on different areas of the bikes.

Thx,

I was looking at a brochure my dealer gave to me. None of the EC's on it were licensable.

The one from face book clearly is on a licensed EC.

Looks like the EC250 FSE sprouted a hydraulic actuator for the clutch as well.

We'll have to wait and see what comes here, and the first container should be making land any day now. I'm hoping for anodized hubs ...

Wouldn't be too difficult. Scorpa managed it on their Yamaha engined 4T trials bike.

twowheels....good catch on the hydro clutch actuator, I totally missed that one.

Red annodized hubs would be sweet but I don't think we'll see that To look good the the hub needs to be polished or machined smooth first and that's an additional costly step. GG hubs seem rough cast and perfect for a powder coat process so it's easy. The red color looks like it should be a bit darker to me also while I'm being picky
