GasGas EC200 or KTM EXC200

[6daysextreme]

There's a few in evilbay and one on ktm forum. But over your budget. More you spend better the bike. I woukd recommend ktm as you'll get more for your money.

Build quality on ktm far surpasses gasser. Makes a huge difference on ride ability. Don't get me wrong, I loved my gasgas but bits fall off as its ridden. They got great chassis and with the right year good suspension too. Ohlins much better than Sachs and marzzochi

I rode a GasGas 200 for a few laps of an enduro and it was possibly the sweetest handling little bike I've ever ridden. Somehow, GasGas just get the chassis (surely it's a frame) just right. I am currently riding and old EXC200 and it's definitely not as good.

The only issue is, you'll probably always be able to get whatever bits you'll need for an orange bike. Perhaps not so easy for the GasGas. GasGas UK are very helpful though but parts can be a fair bit more expensive.

In conclusion; if you can pick up a GasGas in good nick for the right money, I'd go with that.

Also bear in mind that GasGas are bankrupt and not too many offers of a buy out. That may have a bearing on parts availability in the future.

Yes indeed. The price would have to be very right. It's a shame, their recent stuff looked very pretty and well put together.

They were bought in November last year.

Good to hear they have been bought out , lets hope the parent company will invest in GasGas and not just use them to get a foot in the electric trials bike market. When KTM bought Husqvarna they didn`t really invest, we now just have Orange KTM`s and White KTM`s.
