Just got home from riding a new Gas-Gas 200. Run 2 tanks of gas and this thing works. Absolutely the best out of the box suspension i have ever ridden. Not as much low end power as my KTM but every bit as much everywhere else. Let a friend ride it who was #1 250 ex in MRAN a couple years ago and he thought he could overall a race on it as is. Gonna go spend the day on it tommorrow in Idaho and see how it does in the woods.

sounds like you picked a good machine, I saw one performe in Detroit at the cycle show a couple years back. the Bike I saw was awsome for doing trials stuff. did your come with the factory mirrors?

well i'm jealous.

what? just cause you sell them you think you get to ride them?

i still like my cr250 but man i was so close to getting either a "Gas Gas" or a "TM" 200. i looked at them a lot and they really put the needs of an enduro rider into thought when building them.

they have everything i want in a bike, but i was scared of the whole getting parts when i need them thing. so i stayed with honda.

I went with the yz250 and then sent the suspension to Too Tech for a revalve and his air tank. I only ride the woods and wow what a bike! (also put an 11 oz. flywheel weight on)

Spent most of yesterday riding single track in Idaho with a couple guys from Rekluse. It works great there too. A little bit more like a 125 than my KTM in the motor dept, but the Gas-Gas will turn circles inside my KTM. Both of them rode and liked it also, but i thought i was gonna have to teach them to use a clutch but they remembered how. :)
