PV cover on 2012
Will the US model have the PV cover on the left side like the previous models? Because looking at different pictures I have seen some with and some with out the cover. The picture on ggor.us doesn't have the cover same with the UK website. But on the Spain website there is a cover and the wallpaper pictures of Ivan Cervantes on the new 2012 has the cover. Just wondering how different the 2012 is from the 2011

Leon,
It is my understanding that the 125 gets the same type frame but I assume it will be smaller. Honestly I haven't been too concerned with the 125 because we don't intend to bring them into the US. We still have some 11s in stock. Sales on the 125 have been slow.

Yesterday I got an email from the sales manager at the factory that told us that the production date on the 12 models has been pushed back to December 1st. They reported that there were some "technical issues" that have to be resolved before the bike would be ready. Honestly I was not surprised. Seldom does an manufacturer hit the target production date on a brand new bike. This production date means we will have bikes here in the US in early January.
Sorry to all of you who are waiting on a new bike but I agree that it is better to fix any issues with the bike rather than sending it out with problems.

Guys,
The factory is working like crazy to get this new bike out so I'm not going to bog them down with detailed questions right now. I hope you all understand. I believe the skid plate will be the same because the bottom of the frame has to be the same since the engine cases aren't changing. I also don't expect them to change things like radiators and steering head diameter because the more thing they keep from years past means less stocking parts for them. The footpegs are new but don't know if they will the same as another brand.
Enduro Engineering has already asked me to send them a bike asap so they can check fitment.

Zhack,
I have been told that, dimensionally, the 12 clutch is the same as the 11 clutch. The changes are a hard plating on the basket and additional holes in the basket for better lubrication. I believe that the current EXP will fit the 12.

Clay. I will need a bike to for all the seals and bushings on the linkage and 48mrz's.

I heard a rumor that the "technical issues" are problems with the new airfilter... Surprise??? Maybe we will know soon, is it really so...

The new 2012 Race models are here ! GG outdone itself this time, one of the most good looking bikes in the market ! Some changes though, the quick airfilter extraction seems to have changed, don't see it there anymore.

Yesterday Joe Bonello sent an email to several people about the new Ossa. I made some comment and another guy made a comment and then we started emailing each other. Turns out that he is in the Gas Gas race department. I asked him when they were getting the '12 models and he said they already had them. I asked what he thought and if the bike was good. He said "Yes, very good!" He was typing on an i phone and his answers were short but emphatic.

I whipped up a home-made batch of GasGas SPAM. I might have let it age too long - had to rewrite one pargraph. LOL

This goes out on a RSS newsfeed, so it should get some views here and there. Just spreading the love.

have you been to milano?
Here in Germany some people are discussing very bad about the new models. They said that the bikes shown on the show are crappy prototypes and not that what they are used to see fro GG.
I think the bikes ar great and the inovation are good too. To bad that I purchased a '11, because I ike to have the SixDays platics with the German graphics ;-)
hopefully GG will bring the new bikes to the dealers soon, so that the dusussions stops.

You guys worry too much!!!
Keep in mind that production won't start until December 1st. There are no production bikes in the field as of now. I suspect that even the bikes at Milano had old style engines in them (still have the old power valve cover). It seems to me that management is committed to bringing a completed product to the market. In an email that I got there was a reference to rushing the 450 to market and all of the problems that caused.
