I've been looking at the Ranger for my next bike. Does anyone know what the difference in engine characteristic would be between the 200 and the 300? I don't see any reviewers taking about that. My thought is that since both are supposed to be turned for more bottom end there might not be that...

I'm 6 ft and my 05 actually feels a little cramped to me. Like I've always wanted the pegs to be lower and the bars to be farther away and taller. It's nice when seated like in a corner but standing I've always felt a bit hunched over and have trouble keeping my weight forward. I wonder if the...

So 2011 is the best of the "old generation" (200x-2011) and 2013 starts the "new generation". How is the riding characteristics different of the 2013+ from the 2011 and older? Also, what is the difference between the six days edition and the normal EC? The only 300 I've ridden I'd a 2007? KTM...

I need some advice. I have a 2005 DE200 which I've rebuilt and turned over to my wife and I've been riding my backup bike (88 KTM 250). I've had fun with the old left hand kick KTM but I'm kind of over tinkering with it and am ready for a newer bike. I'm a trail rider and not a particularly fast...

So I read a dirt rider article on the 2018 bikes and it says there will be an EC200 but I don't see one on the gas gas website. Can anyone confirm if a 200 is coming? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

My wife has more or less claimed it as her own (she loves the rekluse auto clutch) so I'm pretty much looking at getting something newer for me. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I'm considering moving to a newer gas gas. My current bike is an 05 DE200 with ohlins suspension. I really like the bike but it's getting a little old and I'm curious if a newer model would be an improvement. I know there was a major appearance refresh in 2007 and then another refresh in 2012...

I stopped by the gas gas tent last time but you must have been out on trail. There may have been a drool spot on the 2017 bike, my apologies. Thank you for bringing it out though! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I'm just down the road. The fall ride was great, looking forward to the spring ride! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I used to live in Borger about 50 miles north of Amarillo. Rode Canadian river a lot then (almost 10 years ago now). One thing that I really liked about living in the panhandle was that I could get to some other pretty cool places for a long weekend (Sante fe, cloudcroft, Colorado Springs...

I live in Burns (Dickson county West of Nashville, a good hour from both of you guys). Is that ride at Loretta's a MTDR ride? Is it limited participation or can anyone sign up? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I just can't seem to stay put and still can't find the snow!

I was looking for plastics for my 05 (same as 06) at GoFasters site the other day and according to their OEM parts fiche they cannot get the shrouds any more. I have not called them though to see if they have any left. I found a bunch of plastics on ebay UK for our generation bikes though. Not...

Moved to Nashville from Houston in October and finally got to take some time and go riding. One of the guys at work is on the board for Middle Tennessee Dirt Riders and invited me out to a ride last weekend at Tumbling creek MX which is out in the sticks about 6 miles from Loretta Lynn's. There...

I've had the same concern with going to LHRB and loosing my clutch override on my rekluse. I've talked to some people that say 'well you should never have a stuck throttle if the carb is maintained and you safety wire the cable'. Yeah that's true but I had a bike rev out on me due to a failed...
