Too many other good/reliable quads out there at the moment it would have to be either great value or offer something extraordinary for me to even consider buying one.

well considering i have a gasgas and have riden quite a few other bikes i can safely say that if there was better support in australia like ktm yamaha and suzuki then there would be alot of happier customers, the bikes are awesome and definetly handle well, not many bikes out there that are 52" wide standard nor are they 50 plus hp standard, and thats the 300cc model !!!! , for all those that just don't like them fair enough, but don't bag what you havn't ridden, you might actually like it. The 300 has a lot of spares from Kawasaki that fit and honda. the 200cc would be good competition for the blaster class but again no advertising and poor spares stop it.

that's a bit harsh, aren't i allowed to have an opinion based on experience, ahhh no i haven't got a shop, i had a gas gas 300 quad and a 300 2 wheeler and never had any problems and i have about six mates who have gas gas fuel injected 450's and they are all great riders and where we ride around erica and the dargo high plains the gas gas is awesome and the more people that ride them up there the more fans they are getting.

Don't like it at all, looks very cheap and chinese made. Why do they call it a 515 if its a 492...

505 = 470cc

They are a nice quad but aren't new............just new to the USA. It was announced on exriders and everyone there thinks because they have never seen it before its a new whizz bang model they are being shown.

pic : motor show Barcelona Spain 2006.......been on sale there ever since. Gas Gas Oz had the option of getting these at the time but opted out of quads altogether.



Good thing is that whatever issues they did have they have had the time to sort them out. I suspect that is why they are looking at re-launching in the USA.
