I am looking at a 2011 EC300 and was wondering what I should look for when checking out the bike, Other than the normal bearings, sprockets etc...
Also I noticed , while searching the interweb for a nice Gas Gas, that anything over a 2011 are like hens teeth. Why so few out there compared to the 2011 and under? here is the bike I am going to look at this weekend and hopefully bring back to my garage.

While that bike looks nice and clean I suspect it has been repainted to hide a lot of use
The 11 had a black swingarm and it looks like the left subframe has been welded. It is also missing the frame guards near the footpegs.
I ride a 2010 that has had a lot of use and is perfect mechanically - so that bike could still be a good bike but don't think it has been sitting in someone's basement for the past 5 years only ridden once a year.
It has the marzochi forks which is a plus
