All black concept bike

What about the black concept bike on the GG facebook page? Looks like it's a husky motor installed.

Would be nice to see it up close

I just looked at it and it scratched!

Definitely a Husky motor. Looks like they've adjusted the pipe to move the silencer back to the right side of the bike.

it is definetly the old Husky Motor.
Both engines will come, 250cc and 310cc
The exhaust has about the same length like the old Husky.

I like it!!!
Nice Bike and very good motor.

The only motorcycle engine that I have witnessed actually burst into flames. I'd pass.

I had an early 250 x-lite. It had some issues mostly related to the starting system. That being said, they did improve over time, and were much better after ditching the Mikuni EFI. The electric starter just never seemed to get better, though. The motor is nice inside and very easy to work on, although a good torque wrench is recommended unless you want to become a helicoil expert. I would only hope that GasGas would further refine the system before just shoving it in a GasGas frame. I look forward to hearing about what they've done or not done to that engine since they bought the technology. There were also rumors of an X-lite 450 under development - I wonder what happened to that (if it ever existed in the first place)?

Before Orange bought us, there were several concept bikes we hoped to have released by 2016, but to my knowledge, GG only bought 3 of them but a 450 was not in the package. Then again...I guess we will have to wait and see. The X-Lite had some issues early on, but in time became a very competitive and reliable package.
