Closest good gasgas dealer is NV motorcycles in Morrinsville.
Both the above links have videos with some good close ups on the bike. Not the same as seeing it in the flesh though.
we may just go where no ones been

That http://www.gasgas.co.nz/ site is a disgrace really. They'd be better to do what KTM have done and just have it re-direct to the aussie site.

Zed is dead
Looking to upgrade the KDX200 (rode 250F's 450F's for years till had a dirtbike break)
Choice is 2012 KTM300XC or '12 Gasgas EC300R, Gasgas is a bit cheaper as it should be and am not (too) concerened about resale (lucky for Gasgas!) as this bike will be a long termer.
Rode a '12 300xc and loved it and know the KTM brand/rep well but not sure about Gasgas.....
Will only buy a Gasgas if the buy price is much cheaper than KTM ($1000 minimium)
Still like some up to date opinions?
Cheers.

Easy choice, Ktm, even better the frame on the ktm was significantly improved for 12, just be careful with the e-start.

What would you like to know about gasgas' ? I know a bit about them.
How tall are you? and how much do you weigh?
I ask as the KTM is a very tall bike, the gasgas is shorter.
If you're slightly heavier or lighter than the 75kg both of the bikes are stock sprung for, then it will likely need suspension work to get the best out of it. So both bikes may need a fair bit of money spent on the suspension. Its not a necessity, but it will make the bike better.
The gasgas will turn inside the KTM too.
The e start on both bikes is pretty average, its a bit more hit and miss on whether you get a good one from gasgas. It can be made to work excellently, but the design is still an afterthought on both bikes.
The gasgas is heavier, especially the e start version.

Whats the issue with the leccy foot?
I ask because a guy down the road rebuilt the starter motor on my DT & did an outstanding job. Just about flips the bike over. A previous rebuild from supposedly reputable auto sparkys lasted 6 starts.
Manopausal.
told ya so
I imagine the DT was designed with e start in mind, so it is at least parallel with the axis of the engine.
On the KTM and GasGas, e start was an afterthought and a bolt on job. You just have to look at the starter motor placement on both bikes, then compare it with the starter on the Beta 300RR, which was always designed with e start.
The KTM and GasGas both used bendixs which are perpendicular to what they are driving, and are not properly lubricated, and run in cases instead of bearings.
The wet mod helps with e start issues on the KTM.
On the gasgas, sometimes the alignment between the flywheel gear, bendix and starter can be a bit off. Gaskets can be used to shim the alignment of the set up to get a much more positive engagement.
Another mod is to retension the bendix spring for stronger bendix throwout.
Both bikes require regular maintenance of the starters, cleaning and greasing.
Both bikes also benefit from a larger than stock battery, a 5 instead of 4, I think it is.
Also, both e start set ups are re-starters, and should never be used for extended periods of time. Starting them from cold is not recommended.

Sounds like you've decided you don't want a gasser so don't buy one. I'd take mine over any ktm I've ridden but it's your money.
