adam slade Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hi all Just a quick intro and question. After a looong time away from off road bikes I have just purchased a gasgas 300 in a vain attempt to regain some mid 40's fitness !! looking forward to getting out and about. Quick question - the VIN no on my bike starts VTRTG - when i checked the bike out, all the sites I have found list GasGas trials bike frame numbers starting with VTRGG not VTRTG. Has anyone else got a TG VIN number - or knows what it means?? Many thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section swept Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Is this bike registered for road use? Have you given the area around the frame no/VIN a really good clean....is the fourth character a definite T? If all is not explained then maybe a photo and an e-mail to the Gas Gas Importer or a reliable dealer may shed some light on what you have. Did you purchase this bike from a private individual or a dealer? I know how disconcerting these little things can be, but at the end of the day if its not a stolen reappropriated machine and you like it then all is not lost. It could be that your bike had a factory hiccup where the person punching the VIN needed glasses or was suffering from too much wine? It could be that VTRTG was a small production run with some mods or additions to clear out a model ending run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam slade Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks both. Not particularly concerned as I know where the bike has come from - just interested as it’s an anomaly I can’t seem to find any info on !! Its definitely stamped TG but looks machine stamped - not by hand. It Is road registered yes, and it’s an early bike for its year - no 0128 so maybe it is to do with the new model/ year combination cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any one is interested for future reference - after phoning Gasgas to order some parts, including a new exhaust - OUCH - Turns out it is a special edition raga bike which explains why it has a different frame number !!
