I hope you're right. I really do.
I just wish that whoever buys it does it to keep current production going and spare parts available. All this is Spain .
If any of the other manufacturers buys it, then it's bye bye GG ...

GG is already bye bye.

Even if the new buyer decides to keep the factory and brand going, there will be so many changes we can't actually hope for the bikes to be as what they used to be. And this is because managers/engineers/designers won't be the same and won't have the same "guidelines" from the new owner as till now.

The only thing I am hoping for right now is parts availability in the future.

While this is a scenario I don't think it is a given that whoever buys Gas Gas won't continue the current line at least for the short term. This is assuming it even continues as a motorcycle company. The product and design is good even if the execution (stuff like inconsistant QC from suppliers) is not always the best. Now if a company like KTM who already has a network of suppliers, buys GG I could see some big changes. We are all guessing. It will be different but that may not be a bad thing. Would have been really nice to see what they could have done had the debt been restructured. I really felt they were on the right path.

Suzuki is going to buy it, add Showa or KYB suspension, rename them "RMX" 200, 250 ,300s keep the trials bikes and go on to rule the world. Yes...I just made that up, but it sounded good didn't it ? It's good to dream isn't it.

PS...... they wouldn't be labeled as Suzuki so they maybe could be slipped into the US under the radar without all those nasty regulations that apply to large manufacturers......I'll take my RMX300 please and license it thank you

It seems very unlikely the Japanese would "buy" engineering from another country. They are a proud people and I would doubt them ever selling a non-Japanese engineered product.

Plus none of them care about the offroad market, not even sure they care about the MX market.
