Is anyone interested in seeing pics from our dealer meeting ?

Of course we would!

How about video too.

 

[fattfreddie]

OK

Not much, just us getting ready.
We'll be riding on Sunday, more pictures soon.

Post some more pics please.

Now that the meeting is here, can you tell us what versions of the bikes you actually are bringing in? Euro spec ECs? US Spec DEs? Enquiring minds need to know....

 

[Cruiser]

What brand rear tire is that? The treads looks very different?

The Euro spec bikes come with Michelin Enduro Comp III FIM/DOT tires.

 

[barkeater]

That's a FIM tire, you'll be taking that off before you ride the bike and replacing it with something that has traction.

Are the Gassers going to be secured in the shipping crate a little better this year, or are they going to flop around during transport as in the past?

BTW: I LOVE the Gas Gas on the Husaberg stand. Best of both worlds.

I'm not a fan of the new shroud graphics. Other than that, nice looking bikes as usual.

 

[ScottyR]

I am indifferent with the rad shroud graphics. They are OK and will grow on me by the spring.

 

[MattR]

I agree, the shroud graphics are just plain horrible. Those graphics make it look like a cheap, chinese knock-off bike. All model years '06 and earlier had better graphics.

 

[cladoo]

They don't look as bad in person as the pictures do.

Although I think my '05 graphics are great, I could get used to the '07's too. They seem to change shades in different lighting conditions. I'm talking about the rad shrouds in sunlight vs in the shade. Kinda cool. The rear fender on the 4t has a cut out for the muffler tip. Nice look. I wonder if U could buy '05 or '06 FSE shrouds for the '07 FSR? Same for 2t's. And have them fit properly.

 

[barkeater]

I think 03's had the best graphics. But I'm biased.

 

[jeffd]

I like the new graphics and I like having red and black as the new corporate image. I think it is a good idea - from a marketing perspective, to have better "bike recognition" during events. I wish my 2001 300 would have come in red. I didn't like it when folks would think my bike was a yamaha at first glance.

I couldn't disagree more. These are the best stock tires I have ever had on any dirtbike I've owned (and the only one's I havent removed within 30 minutes of seat time on a new bike).

I've ridden them all summer. Very similar rear tread pattern to the Michelin S12 and improved durability. The rear tire is even the massive 140/80-18.Traction is only slightly off an M12 front 140 S12 Rear combo.

If anyone wants to ditch their new stockers...Please PM me. I'll gladly pay for shipping

Bottom line...keep 'em and ride 'em!
