The whole KTM group is pushing off road racing and the industry forward. That can't be said about the other brands, quite the opposite.
From what I have heard, gas gas will become the slightly lower spec / cheaper brand in motocross. So ktm will try to make bikes more accessible.
Like the Suzuki of the Japanese bikes
It's like when one local track goes from $20 to $30 for practice days, then magically for no apparent reason, EVERY track within 100 miles is charging $30 with nothing in the way if upgrades to justify the price hike. One would think in an area where some tracks are charging $30 to ride, the one track that kept their prices at $20 would not them a substantial amount more riders on any given day....making money by volume and not margin with low volume.

Plus, broaden your gaze a bit other from nothing but mx. Do you realize, since the same thing happened with Husky? It was completely a white KTM for first year or two. Yes, the DNA still is but they are different in many ways offering quality choices. How is that bad?
How many white bikes line up at Erzberg or Romaniacs or GNCCs? Not MX but important disciplines, nonetheless. More important to some. This is a good thing, man. Husqvarna, who have great history in motorsports, was dead and buried till KTM bought them. Now they provide riders with factory jobs worldwide and customers with great bikes offering a few different choices from just orange. A legendary bike brand has been resurrected. This will be the same with GasGas.
GasGas has a long tradition in motorsports. Saving and eventually growing the brand is good. It just is.
I've ridden mainly KTM since 2001 back before they were cool. But have had several GG bikes. So they are important to me and very viable to me but i have never seen this much discussion on a GG on Vital. Ever. And the bikes look great. Laia did well as will Glenn and Taddy as well as the others.
It's growing the brand a ton even before the first flag has dropped. So its good. And in time, the bikes will have enough variances to give options people will appreciate. But if you disagree then that's your prerogative.
Pit Row
Here's my GAsGAs, and don't see any resemblance to it looking KTM ish. I take offense to it
Eventually the GasGas will probably be like Husky. Same frame and engine but with different subframe, bodywork and maybe suspension settings. But they wont change all that in the middle of the season. While the Husky and KTM is similar, they arent EXACTLY the same and no team or rider would just jump from one to the other in the middle of a season. Even just a bodywork change can have huge impact on rider feel and comfort.
Nobody thought they´d look any different. This year is basically just a marketing campaign for the upcoming 2021 NEW GasGas models. Hopefully they can keep some of the looks of the current GasGas bikes, because they look fire IMO.
They’ve got everyone taking about it...and isn’t that the goal?
For the moment, the MX bikes are rebranded KTMs; but, the story is that they’re going to build an actual Gas Gas & they’re even going to assemble it in...Spain.
My responses is pretty laid back...aka...my usual,”We’ll see.”
I'm impressed that people are still staying on topic...mostly.
What I have read here in Spain is that KTM is trying to sell the current GasGas platform (as they did with the original Husqvarna to SWM)... So I doubt anything will remain from the current platform.
For the moment there is even problems with some parts supply, they have a lot of shit in backorder (I had to repair my e-starter with a -2016 KTM starter and reverse its polarity.... as there was no GasGas starter in stock).
Let see... but seems like original GasGas enduro line is dead, and only the trials line will survive.
