When does this press embargo end from Gas Gas??

todotrial have bike on their site (do they not playby the rules?) and Gas Gas had it in Germany with Raga so surely they now want to allow people to see/hear about it.

Andy has already said he will honour the press embargo therefore until such times as he decrees we'll delete any images that appear contary to this. Hope you can understand Andy's reasons.
thanks

Now the pictures are clearer it doesn't look as good as it did before.
However in real life it may look better. Just shows you have to see them in the flesh!

If the engine is still good, why change it? i have never riden a bike with such smooth power delivery from low revs as a 300

the new raga did look better in the black leaked photos, it looks like a beta now, will it be worth the extra for a raga?

IMO no...
Def not worth the extra they want now. Outside of colour change, the new shock and some bling it adds very little.
If I was looking I'd go standard and spend some £££'s adding bling.

I agree except I would change one thing: I would spend extra $$$$$ on replacing all the levers and things I will break when I crash. :wall:

So anyone got one yet??
Be interesting to see how the new Reiger shock works?

Looks like costs £5500 for 250 (getting silly now) up to about £5800 for the 300 (really) still sure folk with more money than sense will buy them.
