drca Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I've been looking at a bike for sale that has no title or MSO, and his current owner got it from a friend who got it who knows where... The owner thinks it's a 2001 200 TXT. Which is what the VIN would support: VTRGG 1602 1201 **** According to this thread and this VIN decoder this does identify it as a European / Spanish / Gas Gas / 160cc / from 2001. Now... when looking at the picture, it's clearly a TXT Pro frame and engine: So I am trying to figure out what's going on? And what model it could be and what model year this really is. The frame and engine are clearly TXT Pro (2002 and later) which would rule out the 2001 model year. According to the Gas Gas web site "Previous models"section there was no 200cc was available in 02, and 03. Which would make this bike an 04 or later. Looks like the 05 and later had a different lower triple clamp (solid with no slot as in the previous models) and a far bar which would rule out the 2005 and later. Body plastic: besides the yellow color... looks like some pieces covering the muffler) and possible on the opposite side too. Now... the pipe looks like a 2001 pipe... Any help / suggestions / idea welcome. Cheers. I looked at the Gas Gas web site on their previous models and the 200cc was not available in 02, and 03.

drca Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Doing more research looks like there was a 2002 TXT Pro 200cc and that might be one then: http://www.xrv.org.uk/forums/bikes-sale-wanted/82650-gas-gas-txt-pro-200-2002-trials-bike.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Early 2002 pro. Plastics are weird to get. Some used the txt 80/50 stuff. Is it in the states as the muffler looks like an adapted spark arrestor/ muffler. My advice is to run, like you have never, ever seen it.

I am looking for a donor 2002 bike bike so that might be it. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 A friend had an early 2002 200. The Gas Gas name was not cast into the cylinder. It is the only one I have seen like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Donor? Everything on the 2002 was upgraded. You can upgrade a 2002, but not use a 2002 to fix the crap problems. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a California thing... I just need a 2002 frame (with a 2002 VIN number) as newer trials bikes can't be ridden here on some public land half of the year (pollution control). The rest I can sell for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
