Squid,
Gas Gas have done really well to come into the market after having no Enduro background. They are not as well established as KTM and as you would expect they have had one or two problems which KTM no doubt had in the early days.
A mag in the UK ran a piece on a GG200 owner who had horrific problems that were unacceptable. His tank leaked his first 9 litres of fuel straight onto the floor because "the monkey at the factory glued his fingers together instead of the two halves of the petrol tank!"
He was blighted by a screaming noise from his gearbox because the 1st gear cog is attached to the same shaft as top gear and factory tolerances are too tight. This is a common problem experienced by others. Some suffer, some don't !
His air box was broken twice because the bike fell over and knocked the rear mud guard. I admit to falling off my bike at least once a week challenging myself to push further. I couldn't afford to replace my air box every week could you ?
His list of problems went on and on including the fact that when left on its side stand idling, the GG walks ten feet across his garage.
I'm sure GG improve every week and your bike sounds like a peach BUT I personaly wouldn't put my money on a GG just yet.
Gas Gas are regarded as a softer option in the UK and do well in local Enduro's but for all out riding and winning in Enduro's the KTM 200 is King. Ady Smith is doing the same in the UK as Shane Watts is doing in the States: winning on a KTM200 against bikes that on paper should beat them hands down.
Here in Europe, the Spanish are regarded as laid back and are not renowned for their engineering skills. The Germans and Austrians are regarded as cutting edge and engineering experts.
Its not bad mouthing.Those are just the facts.
My 2 cents: DON'T GAMBLE,GO ORANGE !
