Advice for buying a 2011 EC300
I am new to this forum and I'm sure glad I found it. A wealth of info here for sure.
I have raced and rode bikes for over 25 years. I am looking for something that is wood specific and always wanted to try the GasGas. 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. |

2011 gasgas
The 2011 gassers are the smaller frame and are about an inch lower than the newer ones which fits me good I am 5'8" so if your tall you might want to get a newer one I would look for a 2014 or newer

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

So my advice would be to look for a 14 or 15 model.
