I have always considered myself a dedicated 125 guy probably always will be...

But I have always been intrigued by the Gas Gas company...when I saw the 2011 XC 250 models.....it was an easy choice

and now I wont have to shift as often


ps nice to see fellow Husky riders here

I figured that would be tough to recover from, but after seeing some pretty crazy moves over the years...... you never know!

Who are you buying it from?

"The new gassers look trick"
Man, that's really dating yourself
That reminds me of drilling out everything on the bike and safety wiring all the bolts back in the '80's- that was the "trick" thing to do.
Don't hear that word much any more.
I'm trying to get up to VT to see the 250XC, but I'll wait for the e-start.

I was "stoked" to finally be eligible for senior class 4 yrs ago. Until I found out thats where all the tough old fast dudes are! Started out racing mx in 81',had alot of bikes over the years. Really like that gas gas motor.

you ain't kidding. i normally ride in 40+ class. i went to a race 3 weeks ago, and they accidentally gave me a 30+ number and i got on the line, and asked the guy next to me that looked about my age, "is this the 40+ class"? he said "no way, this is 30+" - i said "how old are you?" he says "45" - i said, "damn, they put me in the wrong class" - his reply, "i won't run in that 40+ class, way too fast for me"



amazingly, i've been considering running in the bomber class (10 year old bikes) next year in one of the series i do.... i dunno what that will be like, but it sure could be interesting...

I was going to make sure that I sent that dealer a bike. If you don't want to tell me, that's ok. Shoot your own foot off!!

At the last national enduro, Randy Hawkins was 3rd!
Holy cow that's a tough class!
