Appreciate the reply, but can you go and kick them in the balls for ruining Gasgas for me/us? I do hope the parts remain available to the buyers who have kept them employed for years.
It is seriously leaving such a bad taste in my mouth that Ktm are swooping in and destroying a brilliant motorcycle in favour of another jelly mould of a Ktm.

Mark,
Again I'd like to thank you for the updates. And I hope you and yours will be taken care of. I want to reiterate for us, the consumer, this really is nothing more than a minor irritation. For Mark and his team this is their livelihood. And right before Christmas. Mark has done a great job supporting the brand for a number of years. Thank you. Matt

I am at the point to where I am deciding whether to buy another GG or switch. That being said, the Sherco 300 is starting to appeal to me. I just can't do a KTM I am not inclined to buy a Red KTM. But I'll wait to see what comes out in the near future before I make my decision.

Guys...
Alot of money is made by selling parts for motorcycles... And it is also high profit margin for the manufacturer. For example, I once heard that Honda makes more money selling motorcycle parts than it does selling motorcycles..... There is commonality of parts across many years of of the gasgas 250/300 which means it makes even more sense to continue to serve this profitable market.... I would wait a little longer before throwing in the towel and saying you can't get parts for the bike any longer. Jeff

And if Gas Gas had brought out a entirely new bike on their own that wasn't a rebadged KTM you would still be in a similar position. Having a bike that doesn't become outdated or depreciate isn't an entitlement. If what Mark was told is accurate we should be in decent shape. Most of the stuff that is commonly broken worn (plastic, bars, levers) is available aftermarket anyway.

GGNA people may be without an income right before Christmas. Although I hope not. So because something that really is a "luxury toy" losing value really means very little in the whole scheme of things. Of course you're welcome to disagree but I won't be convinced.

Levers, plastics, pistons, sprockets & other consumables will be readily available for years. My concern is things like cylinders, bottom end parts, cases, CDIs & clutch/transmission parts. You know, the ones that stop the bike from running!
That's the stuff that killed Italian Husky owners! Call me cynical but I'll believe that Girona will supply this stuff when I see it. KTM are hardly gonna like the fact that their new factory is pumping out parts for old model bikes. They'll be pushing hard to get everyone on red KTMs! Just MHO of course.

but resell value can be very poor. |
