I posted this info. in another thread, but just had to revive this one. In an earlier post Kali said "this is getting good".

It just got better.

I discovered last night that the originator of the thread, 'who had decided on a Gas Gas', bought a YAMAHA WR250F.

Hey Kali, I hope you read this, because 'it just got better'.

I have been searching the net for the past week looking for info on GasGas motorcycles. Everything I've read has been very positive. There is a dealer about a hour away who is going to let me ride a '00 EC250 this Sunday. He is asking $6100 for a '01 XC250 which will be in this month. But, I found a KTM dealer in California that is selling 250EXC's for $5299. Has anyone ridden both of these or similar models and what would justify the higher cost of the GasGas. Thanks in advance for any replies.

At the same price the KTM still wins! RIDE ORANGE!!!!

After all of this I went out and bought a Yamaha. Like I told Strick in the other post, I have always likes four strokes better but they were heavy pigs or the lighter ones were so under powered. This bike has good power and feels very light. I think it can hang with any bike on any trail (If the rider is able). It isn't as nice the KTM 4's but it was way cheaper and was in the showroom. Price is the reason I was sticking with two strokes.

Actually Strick, the four strokes are invading that market as well,..they have 4-stroke weedwackeres, and I just purchased a "vibra-screed" machine for my business(concrete vibrator), it is a 26cc honda 4-stroke, pretty darn quiet, and I can use it indoors without wearing a gas mask.!

I was all set to make my next bike the KTM 250 4-stroke that is coming out, but I guess now I'll have to wait so I can check out the GG one as well. Just looking for more quality parts than what the Jap manufacturers are putting on their bikes. I think I bent my stock bars leaning my bike against a tree...

Thanks for the entertaining and mind-opening thread..
