Hopefully ,,Trials bikes are part of their big plan, Gas Gas has a big foot print in trials industry Still...,,,it was their primary foundation I'm being positive to think its like when HONDA bought most of MONTESA's shares of the company Edited February 29, 2020 by Agent808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footy Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 I will be interested to read more about parts support for 2019 and older models and who this new entity will be. I recently purchased a 2012 TXT 250 pro and I plan to keep it a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id read on another forum about a uk dealer that ktm were demanding that to sell gasgas they had to spend a fortune on a new display which they couldn't afford so were losing gasgas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherco70 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Here in the northwest corner of the northwest USA, the whole business of motorcycles is just enough to support one dealer. He sells several makes including KTM and also Honda. He has no interest in trials and does not seem aware that Honda Montesa has a world class trials machine. He really likes KTM, but I can bet he will not want to add trials machines under the Gas Gas name. Right now there does not seem to be any answers to who will be a Gas Gas dealer and the few dealers nation wide seem to be just trying to sell off what they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrabstick Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I have no time for Gas Gas, around 2007 I bought a 98 Txt 250, having had it only a short while it started making a bit of a rattle, I stripped it to find plating migrating from the barrel, I had it replated but could I get a piston? I called Gas Gas UK who really didn't care, even emailed the factory, nobody cared, nobody could tell me when they would be available, the old piston had to have a clean up and go back in, I then sold it, long term does Gas Gas have a trials future? their lack of financial stability plus my previous parts experience put them right out of contention when I bought my new bike 3 yrs back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 13 years ago and the bike was ten years old then, but I see your point, objectively things are very different now..............
