So what’s different between the two bikes other than the colors. We like red. Might go and buy one anyway.

Mosiman says the red bike feels slimmer.

Other than that, about $900 and I don't think the MC250F has the map/TC switch (about $150, I think).

Prices are for 2021 models $8,499 v $9,399

I think the map/TC switch is the main thing. Also, I think the clamps are stamped, rather than the nicer Husky clamps. Also, the head pipe appears different w/ no expansion chamber like the KTM/Huskys. For the price though, Gasgas seems like a nice buy.

Approaching 10k for a 250f! With the "budget" line GasGas models still priced above the Japanese competitors. Just seems to be a little out of line...

From what I’ve heard form my local husky dealer the gasgas will come with lower spec wheels.

subframe also looks to be a very simple aluminum assembly. Otherwise, yeah pretty much a facelifted ktm

I was told 10,300 OTD for a 2021 yz250f. seems they are about the same.

The Gas Gas 250F is cheaper than most other 250F bikes. MSRP 9000€ here in Finland, the only 250 cheaper is the Suzuki. The rest is more expensive.

Forged not cast just like the Japanese bikes. I think the only thing missing compared to the ktm triple clamp is the fancy machining.

I might be wrong so correct me if i'm wrong. but the bar mounts seems to be direct mount to the clamps without any rubber bushings. If that is the case, expect lots of complaining about vibrations once people and media guys start riding them.

Look at factory clamps, the majority seems to be direct mount! Although i will enjoy my ROCS clamps and PHDS bar mounts when they arrive in a week or two Cool

The Neken bar already beats up your hands. I can’t imagine it with a hard mount.
