I’m almost decided on the Gas Gas EC300 Electric Start.
Just have to sell a couple of the oldies and save a few sheckles.
Thanks for the opinions lads.
Cheers
Gazza.Excellant choice Gaz
light weight reliable great spares support at a reasonable price and with a starter motor that doesnt have any real issues unlike the KTM. Power is easily tuneable to your personal preferances. The 2012’s seat is about 25mm higher than previous models although still relatively low compared to others.The 2011’s are going for a real good price second hand low km’s. The newer 12’s have a Marzocchi CC fork and Ohlins rear. The 11’s have Sach’s fork/Shock. I believe the 13’s Standard run of the mill 300EC have a 45 Marzocchi shiver and Sach’s shock which I think is a backward step. The 300R has trick suspension but no leccy leg.

My one is the same as the second picture that Moto put up.
TB, tried that with Nickj and it seems it was a nightmare for him :huh: so I will try again :unsure:
Thanks anyway
I’ve been restoring a 72 DT2 for the past 5 years. Plenty of parts available ebay usa. The last part I was chasing for a long time was some decent forks. A guy from ozvmx came to the rescue and sold me a pair so I’m on the home straight. Just need to find some time!!
Hey Zorozz my dad had the 72 250 DT2 was a good old reliable bike, the points didnt like water though and you had to give it a real mans boot to get her fired up. As a 12 year old I often took her out for a blast with out the old man knowing that was until the Biatch kicked me back and nearly broke my foot :S

Hey fix yor headlight I am running a night ride up there soon 4 hrs of singles one evening :woohoo:Gas gas are a good thing when you put enough Honda parts on them eh Ollie forks, brakes, clutch parts :laugh: :laugh: Oh yeah it’s not a laughing matter it’s the truth
TB
No arguments from me, Gasgas is probably the closest Euro to manufacture a bike similar to a rice burner as you could get.
Perimeter Frame = 94 KX 125
Engine = loosely based on a YZ
brakes = Nissan
wheels = DID dirtstars
ignition electrics = Kokusaneven the front suspension (marzocchi 45 shivers) are identical to 92 model Showa’s which were standard on my 92 Husky 360
and Honda are the ones that went bleating to the AMA and threatened to pull the pin if they didnt get their way
My 2 bobs worth

BTW I rode a 99 RMX for about 50 kays up in the Watagans last weekend
still love the old Suzuki 2 strokes. How good are the seats on em like an arm chair compared to the Brick on the Gasser :laugh:Ollie
They Look like a good thing
Not a fan of the Sachs suspension tho would have been better with Marzocchi/KYB/Ohlins/Showa CC forks and Ohlins rear Boingerollie
