Look up the VIN and see what it tells you. From the pictures it definitely looks like an 07 model, but that's not to say it wasn't built in 06. Quite often Gas Gas would release and updated model later in the year which they would call their race model and have a few upgraded parts and elements from the next years build.
What forks are they? Look to be coated or fitted from something else.
Your bike is rocking the 07 plastics, therefore must have the 07 subframe. Pretty sure the 07 plastics wouldn't fit. It appears your fuel tank is also a single moulded piece. Not sure which year they changed from the 2 piece to a single but it's something else you could check.
The forks look like Ohlins to me.
It's a nice tidy looking bike you have. Once the engines sorted she should give you many happy hours riding mate!
Cool thanks! I got it for ?800 (around $1,100) which is half the price they sell for on eBay so I don't mind putting money into it which is why I am looking at making it look like a 2011 bike
I will post back tomorrow with the VIN if I have trouble decoding it.
You got a bargain at that price. I paid more than that for my 2000 model 3 weeks ago! which also came from Wales.
Yeah I went hunting for the auction after I saw your thread on here . I only got it at a cheap price because it was from family and had been standing for a few years.
Some people have all the luck. Why can't any of my family have a bike sitting there doing nothing for me to buy for half price!
