January 21, 201511 yr It's been reported in Spanish Papers that the creditors of Gas Gas are on the warpath regarding the companyy's level of debt again. They have survived before but it will have to be seen how this works out. Especially as Ossa share the Production facility.
January 21, 201511 yr in practical terms its difficult to see new bike sales sustaining one manufacturer never mind half a dozen.. even less likely if you owe 24 million euros..
January 21, 201511 yr How many NEW Trials bikes are sold in the UK each year, i'd love to know? Plus who sells the most, GasGas or Beta?
January 21, 201511 yr Gas gas always used to sell the most, and I think its probably still the case? New bikes per year less than 1000? in total all makes?
January 21, 201511 yr You can get some information here- www.howmanyleft.co.uk But obviously only bikes which are registered for the road
January 21, 201511 yr Gas Gas sells 2-3 times as many enduro bikes than trials bikes, which is probably also the case with Beta and Sherco.
January 21, 201511 yr With a contract till 2017 if the worst should happen I'm assuming raga would get paid in full?
January 21, 201511 yr With a contract till 2017 if the worst should happen I'm assuming raga would get paid in full? Why's that then?
January 21, 201511 yr Gas Gas sells 2-3 times as many enduro bikes than trials bikes, which is probably also the case with Beta and Sherco. i ll wager a small fortune that it isnt the case.. gasgas has a long history of enduro bikes the others do not and i dont see many if any at enduros..
January 21, 201511 yr Gas gas always used to sell the most, and I think its probably still the case? New bikes per year less than 1000? in total all makes? I'm surprised, I genuinely thought Beta UK would sell the most Trials bikes in the UK ~ you can't move for Beta in Yorkshire
January 21, 201511 yr Enduro bikes are probably what has kept Sherco and GasGas afloat,Beta make scooters as well and I would think are the most financially stable .I feel something's got to change in the trials market,it's presently too small to support this many manufacturers,and will get harder when TRS and Vertigo start production Hopefully GasGas can come through thisi it's the most popular brand out there,but there must be a limit to how long they can be propped up
January 21, 201511 yr The Gas Gas founder said the GG enduros sell 3x more than trials when referring the Jordi days. http://www.retrotrials.com/22-exclusive-interview-with-gasgas-founder-josep-pibernat.html Was the trials market bigger for GasGas at this time?We make 5000 trial bikes here And how many enduro?
