New GAS GAS color

[gasser]

GasGas is about to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of bankruptcy so it struck me that a good way to draw attention to the new bike is to come out with a bold new color that makes people who see the bike ask "what is that". This will start discussions about the bike and make it easier to point out improvements and enhancements. The "big 5" all have their signature color and Beta and Sherco have their copy cat colors so GasGas needs something different to stand out. My suggestion is a dark green frame with white plastics and dark green graphics. Back in the early years of production GG nickle plated their frames which made them stand out as tricked out and unique. I must admit that was what drew me to them in the beginning. Maybe a nickle plated frame will help again.

I was a big fan on the dark years, the 2010 models I thought had a great look to them.

The nickel frames are / were cool, depending on where you are in the world or country once they start to rust they look bad.

I like red/white/black. Guess I'm a conformist. haha

Red/white/and black in varying proportions looks good on a number of bikes ... GasGas, Beta, Honda, Yamaha, Fantic, Ducati ... I'm kind of a fan of throwing some green in there as well.

Then again, why not go for the yellow or blue of the earlier GasGas? Suzuki hardly makes off-roaders anymore, and it's unlikely that the bike would be mistaken for a Sherco.

How about just start at the salmon color that their red plastics faded to?

Personally, I like the red and wite colours

My 2010 gasser looked great and drew many positive comments.
Mostly black plastics (fade resistant) in mould decals (will not peel off).
Anodised red forks, and hubs (not painted), black rims, although they did mark easily, so maybe plain aluminium

I think one thing GasGas has got right since 2010 is the looks/colors.

I would stay with the red/white/black combo.

That said a yellow/white/black 125cc using the old husky motor with a big bore kit would be cool!

Hate to be the wet blanket but corporate ID was one of the topics we discussed in our meetings a few days ago. There are no changes currently planned in colors or logo.

And there is nothing wrong with the current colors or logo!

Various combinations of red, white and black are fine. I do like the white/green colours used on the older bikes (Pentons, Ossas, Rickmann Metisse, etc.).

Exactly. There is no mistaking a newer GG in stock trim for anything else in the woods, there is simply no reason to change it. If all else fails, they could go with white and green then call it the rebirth of Ossa. Hey, simply changing the color then calling it another brand seems to be accepted these days.

I will share this, there will be variations using the colors of red, black and white but the primary CI color will remain Gas Gas Red.

Now that I've said that...they will change everything.

Rod on a side note how is Ossa coming out of this deal? I seen one of there trials bikes the other day be a shame to lose a fine machine

I hope they don't change logos because I already have a Gas Gas tattoo.

 

[Dirt Dud]

I have always said that my Gasgas in the new colors is the best looking bike I have ever owned .

 

[roostafish]

I have owned every color of Gas Gas ever produced. They all drew attention. I liked every version. Have often thought of doing a white/ dark green combo as mentioned earlier. Sort of a Penton Six Days look. Would be fun. You could make your own graphics and the bike will still be clearly a Gas Gas. Especially to a Gas Gas rider. Or a former Gas Gas rider as it were.

Each time I have brought it up (before Nov 18th 2015) the subject was changed. We know that Ossa was not part of the Torrot purchase, so its safe to play taps then move on.

Anything but green!

I very much like the current colors

 

[gasgasman]

Current bike is stunning. Keep it the same.
