Wtf is up with the black backgrounds on the side plates? Blink There is a chunk missing.

Other than that it is a sweet looking bike.

The side panel sort of steps down right there. But a decal could mould enough to make that bend.

Definitely looks like a rush job.  That left number plate is gigantic too, not sure I love the new GG bodywork.

Sweet lookin bike, love the looks of those new Troy Lee Designs Gas Gas's.   I've gotten a bit hooked on these factory edition MX bikes dealers are coming out with, nothing cooler than going to a dealership and seeing a bike with all the cool stuff already on it from the factory, those Red hubs are drool worthy.

Does it have any parts upgrades or just stickers?

It’s not as big as the older Husqvarna side panels were. I’ll get it together Monday and get some more pics. Everyone is at the LL qualifier this weekend. Except the owner of course. Lol

Its the new Chassis and looks like it comes with better wheels and clamps but not sure if it has anything else.  The first years of the FE's they always come with a stock pipe.

For GG that's a complete new unit. All the upgrades of the 23 KTM and Husky's.

I was hoping to see the stop/start switch go away and go back to the old style. I'm not a fan of that switch.

Looks like an Akrop slip on at least.

Good eye!  I assumed they were following the KTM pattern. Nice little bonus for sure.

What's up with the gas tank cover? Wonder how it looks removed. KTMs don't have it.

Seat pushes forward to lock like the new KTM. Sear bolt is under the air filter cover on the side like the older Husqvarna.

Top of the seat is probably going to look strange without the cover

I’m not up on Austrian bikes.  Does the Gas Gas TLD come in all MX models, both 2 and 4 stroke or only 450.  I looked at the website but couldn’t tell.  I really like the looks.  The red and blue looks good, like it does on the Honda 450, 50 yr.  Those bikes should sell on looks alone.
