Default Any 07 2 strokes in the US yet?

I am curious to see what the 2007 US Spec DE/EC models look like and how they are configured. Has anyone seen one or better yet, does anyone OWN one that they would like to give a ride review on?

Do they have lights? If not, do they have a lighting coil to hook lights up to? I would like to hear a real report of a DE and an EC ridden back to back.

Thanks
Scott

Go Fasters had 2 at the LMS Race here in Tx. I would give Mark or Steve at Go Fasters a call. I can say 1st hand that the 07's are NICE!

All of the 07s we recieved have EC ignitions with MX number plate, LED taillight, GasGas Pipe, GasGas muffler (not a spark arrestor), and o-ring chain.

At Six Days this year I didn't hear of any issues other then some riders struggled a little getting used to the new quick change airfilter (it takes a little getting used to.)

The new subframes are the biggest improvement and the new platics make this bike a real looker.

I have seen and ridden an 07, it has a new subframe, rear fender/side panel setup (very similar to the ktm) new air box and seat. This was all done to improve the handling of the bike which I've heard is quite impressive but I only got to ride one in a parking lot. As for the looks, it finally looks like it belongs in this decade!! Oh and there is no headlight but the wiring is there.

Default 07 gasgas

Rode the 07 300 Sat.I'm not good at doing test reports,so here goes.We rode fast wooded doubletrack,technical singletrack at Brushy Mt Motorsports park.The 07 is the smoothest motor I have ridden.Does not have as much hit as my 05 DE,but i believe I can actually ride the bike faster.The suspension is great.I adjusted the sag,and did nothing else.I weigh 170 and race Sen.A .I have a 03,and a 05 300also.I believe the 07 is the best I've ridden.Tracy

What I have heard is very positive and the bikes feel a lot more improved than they look.

So, when are you going to pick your next bike, Glenn? I am kinda curious if you are going to switch brands.
