I picked up a 2010 ec250 this year for a smoking deal knowing I would need to put some money into it. So instead of putting more money into the ktm( xcw that I have not been happy with hate the transmission and non linkage) I pick this bike up for what I sold the 06 ktm for.I sent the cylinder to eric to replate and cut the cylinder down, sent the suspenion to be tuned and found out the forks were screwed. I had some CC WP forks built changed the way the bike was set up. High rise bars and higher pegs. I have been out a couple time and really love this bike it seems to fit me so much better and love the power way more lugging power then I thought it would have with good top. I have been wanting a gasgas for the last couple years and now that I am on one I coundn't be happier.
