2013 Ossa 300 Enduro Reverse Cylinder

[Moto7man]

Ossa is building a fuel injected 300 with Electric Start. Click the link and scroll down. It looks very cool!

An interesting bike for sure and discussed a bit in this thread:

I'm a trials guy and the Ossa's new trials bike, which came first, looks equally cool. I hope they make it but, I don't want to be the guinea pig. I'd wait a few years and Ossa could disappear from the US, as fast as they reemerged.

After looking closely at this bike, I'd take a chance on it for sure. I hope they get imported. I do wonder if the clutch will be something unique, or something borrowed.

Lewisport has them up on their website.

Apparently Ossa plans to send 20 units to the U.S. for 2012. It may be a phantom (pardon the pun, but yes, it was on purpose), as there is no date set for their arrival. (Sounds familiar doesn't it?). This may work to my favor though. I'm trying to qualify for the ISDE again this year, so I'll stick to my perfectly unhurt '08 EC250 for the qualifiers. 2013 bikes will be out by the time the ISDE hits. I can rent a bike there, and buy a new '13 Ossa/Gas Gas, or even Christini Gas Gas. If I get the new bike bug too bad, the Christini is available now, and just a phone call away, since he sells direct!

Per the US importer, the twenty bike "production" run is to get bikes to the importers for evaluation and feedback, and that's a world-wide number. Quite likely there will be two in North America - 3 if Mexico has an importer.

Excellent info. I might venture to guess that two bikes into the country is a very wise first year move. I was thinking that 20 might be a push with only a handful of dealers countrywide.

Gran Prix Cycle is an Ossa Dealer as well as a Gas Gas dealer. He talked to the Ossa guys this week. I ordered one. They say it will be a 2013 model and arrive late 2012. We will see.
