It's a good product & would recoup some cash for KTM without being a major threat to sales(small niche brands).

I'd love to see the "Phoenix"-bikes survive, even if it is under a different brand name (except KTM).

I've heard(from a very reputable source!) that the current GG bike tooling/rights is currently up for tender & most likely will remain Spanish. JTG have their own engine & complete bike about to be released.

Let’s wait and see what will come.
Maybe Ossa is coming back or JTG will bring an Enduro bike or another brand....
Gasgas like we know it is dead and will never come back. Parts for the bikes before 2012 are already rar, like engine parts for the 125. Thank god that enough aftermarket parts are available to keep the bike running and that I have 3 complete spare engines :-)
What ever will come from another brand, it will be better than KTM.

How much of Laia Sanz's GasGas at Dakar this year was KTM? Other than the stickers I'd bet none. Probably what we can expect with the GG enduro line at KTM, unless they kill it out right and market just the GG trials. I joined the JotaGas forum and have been checking in on it daily. GG endure to SWM sounds interesting. I looked at a SWM in Cali in Oct and was impressed. They've tested well. Trying to get my brother to buy one!

Well, considering that her bike was a four-stroke, and that the last four-stroke GasGas (outside of the side-valve trials bike) was powered by a Yamaha 250cc four-stroke engine, i am would bet a pretty big amount that it was ALL KTM. Laia was a KTM rider before KTM bought GasGas, so the "GasGas" she was riding was a KTM.

Laia's 2020 Dakar bike is a KTM with different stickers. Same as the bikes GG used on their last Dakar event some years ago.

Long live the Villa! Looks familiar!

[Doc Brown]

I dont think that Villa will be the next owner, but we'll see. My bet is on AJP after I heard from SWM that they will not buy the old GG platform.

[Gasser Nate]

As long as Ajp doesn?t start making the parts. They were a shockingly built and manufactured bike.
