Hi Guys, is there any news available with regards to the GasGas factory and the halt in manufacturing of the bikes?? Looking at purchasing a new bike but need clarity on the situation. Its seems to be going on for quite a while now!
 
This has dragged on way too long. What was to be a 2 week restructuring, has turned into a 2 month shuttering of the factory. I'd say production of anymore 2015's is lost at this point. My local dealer also sells Shercos and Betas, so I guess I have choices for a new 2016 bike.

Meanwhile, Beta is rolling out it's new 300 X-Trainer. I think they're going to sell those little bikes as fast as they can make them.

I would like to buy a 2016 GG. If they pull through, there won't be any more 2015s, they will need to jam out their 2016s ASAP.

I'm doing a full service on my 2011 so I will be ok until the 2016s get here. I' not riding a darn PUMPKIN!
 
I believe all that was settled and a new CEO was in office. I would like to think that the new CEO will seize this opportunity to get a jump on the competition and roll out the 2016 models early here in North America.
 
I will be happy with one much smaller healthy company building nice trials.
GasGas must concentrate where they are leaders.
After some time, if everything went ok, they can develop one really new enduro .

I too would like to hear some thing? But in July,the place shuts down anyway? Running of the Bulls.
 
Well, this doesn't sound promising at all. It seems like a lot of dealers are dropping the line and selling the remaining bikes at a big discount.:confused: I may have to get one of the last 2015s.

Guys.... What would there be to gain by withholding news from our dealers and the retail public? How responsible would that be of us? Think about that for a minute.

When we have news to report...it will be reported.

Remain calm, go ride.

Surely buy now the public relation officer or advertising department must have a system in place to calm the situation down for the brand. If dealers are starting to dump units it creates an atmosphere of no confidence for future business. The damage they doing to the brand is irreparable
 
It looks like something is happening:

The direction of Gas Gas Motos presented on March 27 three redundancy, suspension, termination and salary reduction. These measures were presented without the contribution of capital to the company viability plan contemplated.

In this scenario the council expressed its disagreement to not see the viability of such plan. The committee does not recognize the cause and sets the direction to withdraw the measures to be agreed with the refinaciaci? banks and the injection of capital from investors. The company accepts the request stating that the directive will exhaust the period of notice given preconcurs and save the activity has since January has difficulty making the payments of salaries. Given this scenario the company agreed to withdraw the measures presented initially introduced a temporary suspension of proceedings for a period of two months. In this case reached a preliminary agreement that was voted in assembly workers and was ratified with a percentage of 84%.

The council of the Gas Gas Motos , with the support of the staff, will go to the Parliament of Catalonia to expose the precarious situation faced by workers. The committee said that the situation the company is experiencing is due to mismanagement because we have brand and product demand (90% is exported). We do not understand that management and shareholders afternoon both capital and provide for a solution having a large financial liquidity, to address the viability of the company, thus avoiding deterioration and devaluation of the firm. Interests unrelated to the company's survival dominate the future of 400 families that depend on and are now forced to a situation of uncertainty and insecurity. - See more at: http://www.ugtcatalunya.cat/girona/?p=198#sthash.jDHnlgST.dpuf
 
Factory is quiet. It seems that the poker game between current owners, banks, tradeunions and (probably) new investors is not over yet.
