    What to Expect from the New KTMs with Gasser Plastic

    Really? Junk? I have a friend that has 2.....and they seem to run just fine. Get over it guys. Is GasGas a good bike? Yes, I love the bodywork on the newer 18-20 models....wish they could have kept their heads above water. It is what it is.

    Is GasGas missing an opportunity?

    Dirt Bike Test with Jimmy Lewis, he is very credible. Miss the reporting from Chilly White. I enjoy the dirt bike channel for the terrain and scenery and you get to hear the bikes motor also. He does get the different bikes out in front of the public, and he's never professed to being an expert...

    Trip West NY to MT,CO,NM,TX back home

    Taking a summer road trip with my son (in the car) to South of Livingston,MT just North of Yellowstone, then down through Colorado, New Mexico into Texas and back home to Upstate NY. Here's the question, what's the best way to get through Colorado ? 87 down through Denver looks quicker, but not...

    18's sure look to have the right parts.

    Don't think we expected it (at least not myself) more like really,really, really hoping.:) Makes the decision all that much easier!

    Great Offroad Riding Near You ?

    Mick, for me and probably others, it's family and friends that keeps me from moving. Plus I still have to work, so I have to find a job and buy a house. I agree with Wimpy525 there are plenty of enduros and hare scrambles to ride here in the Northeast, but places to just trail ride...not so...

    Great Offroad Riding Near You ?

    Mick, I have to agree with you, went through Idaho 2 summers ago on our way to WA. and it has been burned into my memory now.....absolutely beautiful I loved it. Liked Montana and Wyoming too. Hated coming back to NY. (no...not NYC :eek:...farther North)

    GasGas Factory News ?

    I've never met you Rod, but hopefully they can straighten this all out and get back to business so that you don't REALLY have to live "In a van down by the river" :) Too many unemployed people already.

    GasGas Factory News ?

    PS...... they wouldn't be labeled as Suzuki so they maybe could be slipped into the US under the radar without all those nasty regulations that apply to large manufacturers......I'll take my RMX300 please :D and license it thank you

    GasGas Factory News ?

    Suzuki is going to buy it, add Showa or KYB suspension, rename them "RMX" 200, 250 ,300s keep the trials bikes and go on to rule the world. :D Yes...I just made that up, but it sounded good didn't it ? It's good to dream isn't it. :)

    Price point climbing upwards??

    The fact that everyone can't wait to get the latest and greatest technology, FI & suspension also drives the prices up, then we can't afford them....hard to justify for a toy :eek:

    Ranting and raving..

    And......these newer bikes (not just Gas Gas) are not inexpensive to purchase, so you really don't want to have to deal with these things:eek: Years ago I bought a new RMX 250 and never had to do all that much to it. And I rode that thing hard. Now on a 95 KTM 300 (and I envy you guys on much...
