Oh dear! I can't help but feel the whole industry is suffering knock on effects from the GasGas financial black hole and Jgas being such a small player just can't ride this storm. Now Saunders has dropped the brand it will be a very brave soul that would pick it up in the UK from this point. I now have to face the really disappointing fact that I and many others will never be able to purchase a new Jgas.

Thanks GasGas249UK. I'll give you a call later today. Mick, I have tried Saunders and they are unable to offer any reason or even relay details of conversations they may have had with Jgas. The factory line just diverts to some form of voice mail. (By the way, it was the quick spin I had on your machine at Don Barratts and your enthusiasm that sold me on the bike!)

Hi, After much deliberation I took the plunge and ordered a new 2015, 250R and paid a 20% holding deposit back at the begining of December 2014 to a local trials specialist. Unfortunately, no bike has materialised and nobody seems to be able to provide a definative answer why or even assure me it will ever turn up. I have tried phoning & e-mailing the factory direct without any joy so I am now assuming the worst. I fear that shared suppliers caught in the GasGas financial melt down are unable to provide key components to Jotagas so they have `closed their doors' until further notice. The supplier has offered to transfer the deposit onto another brand but I really had my heart set on the JGas. I just wondered if there were others in a similar situation or if anyone had further information. Meanwhile, i'm sitting here with fingers crossed and looking at photos of a Scorpa 20 & a 4RT. Regards.
