September 26, 20196 yr Just saw this http://www.enduromagazine.com/ktm-y-black-toro-capital-crean-una-joint-venture-para-reactivar-gas-gas/
September 27, 20196 yr Author If, in future we see one trials bike in each KTM dealer floor, It will be a big opportunity for our sport. (Hope they are better than regular ktm enduro riders) I guess next generation gasgas EC will be only an red KTM. My biggest concern is how small companies like ordonez (radiators) braktec, formula and many others will deal with this new gg. Killing these suppliers will put big stress on ktm competitors like beta and sherco.
September 27, 20196 yr It maybe good for Trials , but it won't be good for the GasGas name ? Remember what happened to Husaberg
September 28, 20196 yr Maybe if Honda bought them! No matter here, a £ will be worth half a euro shortly if we're lucky, here's hoping the Ethiopians will hold some concerts for us.

If GasGas was unable to pay their suppliers that would put considerable stress on those small manufacturers.

I know you didn’t suggest they are interested but figured better just clear that consideration off the plate... ? Edited September 30, 20196 yr by jonnyc21

If they really wanted to go back to 2T I would expect they would just pull up the specifications of the 315R... Now the Gas Gas gearbox on the other hand, that’s an interesting consideration... ?
