stevieb Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) My friend has recently bought this Gas Gas, reportedly a 2003 TXT Pro 200, I cant find information either on the bike or on the internet to prove Gas Gas actually made a 200 in 2003, my gut feeling is this could be a 2002 125 ??? Can anybody help ?? Edited February 18, 2012 by stevieb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmseven Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I assume it has frame and engine numbers? which will identify it? They made an 04 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody help ?? Frame numbers are the best way to determine origin. A quick way to spot models by how they look: http://www.gasgasmotos.es/en/previous-models.html . Jon Forgot to add: I don't think they made a 200 until 2004. Edited February 18, 2012 by JSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yes, they made a 200 in `03. You can verify by the parts book. I had to replace the shift drum in one a while back, but this still made me look it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blocky Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Im fairly sure that its an 02 frame. No gusset at the headstock but hard to see for sure in the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thats_a_five Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 It looks like a 2003 125cc, except for the 200 sticker on the swingarm and the black rims. Go to the GasGasMuseum.com site and you can click on the year and then see the different models that were offered that year. The frame and radiator mount look exactly the same as the 2003 model.

Jon Frame number 011020263 Swing arm part serial number BT280212002 Thanks Jon I'll need all the numbers after "VTRGG". "BT280212002" is just the part number for the swingarm and is used on various models. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmseven Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Vtrgg 1602 1102 2539 Makes it I think a November 02 160 ???

jse Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Vtrgg 1602 1102 2539 Makes it I think a November 02 160 ??? So yes it is an 02 200 maybe But best wait for Jon to confirm That's what I get also. Interesting that a 2002 model was built in November of 02', which seems kind of late in the model year when you think they would be gearing up for the 03' bikes. The 200's were around 175cc's from what I remember. I don't see an 02' 200 listed in any of my references and thought only the 250 and 280s were out that year (I have an 02' 280). See, ya learn something every day.... Interestingly enough, the 02' Pros were called the "TXXI" model for a short time. Jon ps. I have an idea that may or may not help. Check in the airbox and if there is a clear plastic flap that fits above/over the air filter (like all the newer models) it's possibly an 03' on up. The 02' models did not come with that flap, which made them prone to ingesting water thrown up from the front tire into the filter. Then again, small factories like Gas Gas, unlike say Honda which will crank out thousands of bikes in a short time, often incorporate updates into the assembly line as soon as they develop them.
