telecat Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 It's been reported in Spanish Papers that the creditors of Gas Gas are on the warpath regarding the companyy's level of debt again. They have survived before but it will have to be seen how this works out. Especially as Ossa share the Production facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 in practical terms its difficult to see new bike sales sustaining one manufacturer never mind half a dozen.. even less likely if you owe 24 million euros.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 How many NEW Trials bikes are sold in the UK each year, i'd love to know? Plus who sells the most, GasGas or Beta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Gas gas always used to sell the most, and I think its probably still the case? New bikes per year less than 1000? in total all makes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickymicky Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 You can get some information here- www.howmanyleft.co.uk But obviously only bikes which are registered for the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectionone Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Gas Gas sells 2-3 times as many enduro bikes than trials bikes, which is probably also the case with Beta and Sherco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasthatchgas Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 With a contract till 2017 if the worst should happen I'm assuming raga would get paid in full? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised, I genuinely thought Beta UK would sell the most Trials bikes in the UK ~ you can't move for Beta in Yorkshire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Enduro bikes are probably what has kept Sherco and GasGas afloat,Beta make scooters as well and I would think are the most financially stable .I feel something's got to change in the trials market,it's presently too small to support this many manufacturers,and will get harder when TRS and Vertigo start production Hopefully GasGas can come through thisi it's the most popular brand out there,but there must be a limit to how long they can be propped up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectionone Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The Gas Gas founder said the GG enduros sell 3x more than trials when referring the Jordi days. http://www.retrotrials.com/22-exclusive-interview-with-gasgas-founder-josep-pibernat.html Was the trials market bigger for GasGas at this time?We make 5000 trial bikes here And how many enduro? Exclusive Interview with GasGas co Founder Josep Pibernat www.retrotrials.com Exclusive Interview with GasGas co Founder Josep Pibernat www.retrotrials.com Exclusive Interview with GasGas co Founder Josep Pibernat www.retrotrials.com Exclusive Interview with GasGas co Founder Josep Pibernat www.retrotrials.com Maybe 10,000 also. In one year we make 15000 enduro. 5000 trial and 10000 enduro. This included some little enduro like 50cc enduro.So you sold more enduro than you did trial?Yes, yes. The enduro market is three times trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
