2008 450 and 515 in NA

[tm_enduro]

Did very many 450s or 515s actually come to North America? I have always liked the GasGas line of bikes, mainly the 300, but since reading articles that the new 450/515 has gone on a diet and is more nimble, I am curious about this bike. The 400/450 Gassers that I have ridden really impressed me with their motor and smooth suspension, but they felt a little heavy and sluggish (not that that is a real problem). How about a comparison from folks that have ridden the new 4T models to compare against the older GG 4T's or other brands. For reference, I have a custom Hbg 496 (with the slim alu tank and kick start only) that feels (and is) very nimble and light compared to other 4Ts I have ridden (for reference, a crf250r is no more nimble than my bike), but feels bigger than a GG300.

I think there are 3 - 450s left and 2 -515s available for dealer.

We sold a 515 right away and still have a 450 in stock.

My understanding is the EPA stuff, to get them dual sport legal, is getting done.
