richierich Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've been waiting patiently for press releases etc regarding recent uncertainties with several manufacturers; does anyone have any gossip that can be shared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Current rumours are that Vertigo will produce the 2016 Model in September-ish. TRS will start in September if all goes well. Gas Gas to produce the Factory/Raga Rep in June with plans to re commence production soon after that. Ossa are dependant on Gas Gas so expect a few bikes to appear if the Gasser's do. JGas are in production but have no UK importer. You could probably get one if you can find a Spanish dealer and a truck. No news yet on the importer although they say they are in talks with interested parties. All the above apart from JGas are just Rumours though so we just have to wait.

g2f Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just to clarify: The Vertigo Combat will go into production later this year - model year 2016 - the exact date of when these will be on general sale has not been set yet and is currently under final evaluation based on the data collected from the 6 prototype machines ridden at the recent SSDT. No machines for public sale will be produced in advance of this main and planned release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richierich Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Nice to meet another cynic/realist, Mr Dabster.... How will GG be able to produce the Raga in June prior to production activities recommencing? I understood there may be a disgruntled work force? Will be nice to see the TRS when it arrives. Mr Tarres does make exceedingly good bikes :0) How much more "testing" do Vertigo need? It looks pretty damn good already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgas Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Even if gas gas do release a new bike soon, with the way the workers have been striking and supposedly not been paid ,would you buy anything that's come off their production line?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Latest is that Gas Gas will not be producing anything soon. Looking like a lean summer on New bikes front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I wonder how long the funding to keep raga going will last? maybe he will be the man for jordi and the new trs?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Nice idea but the TRS business model has to work and finances have to be kept in check. The fact that GG keep paying Raga shows the investors intentions. If they thought Gg was a dead duck they'd have stopped paying him ...surely . I think there's hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Are GasGas paying him?Maybe his other sponsors are keeping him going.Unfortunatly he has nowhere else to go ,all the other factory ride are taken Edited May 17, 2015 by huski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Odd don't you think, looking at the BTC results there's only one bike out of the top six you can go out and buy at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I could be wrong but I understood Beta were waiting for the next delivery so you can't buy anything at present apart from Sherco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
