GasGas is a Spanish motorcycle manufacturer specialising in off-road moto-cross, enduro and trials bikes. The company was founded in Girona in 1985 by Narcìs Casas and Josep Pibernat who had both worked in the Bultaco factory until its closure in 1983. GasGas earned a reputation for producing high-quality, reliable off-road motorcycles, particularly in the specialised trials market. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, GasGas solidified its position in the off-road market and their trials bikes had significant success in the world championships with riders such as Jordi Tarrés and Adam Raga. After financial difficulties, they are now part of the KTM group. In 2002 they launched what would be considered as the lightest trials bike available at the time, with Adam Raga piloting a prototype in 2001 that would go into production the following year as the 250cc TXT Edition.
This example, being offered without reserve, is from an enthusiast's private collection. He has now sadly passed away, having originally bought the machine new for his son to use. It is presented in standard and original condition, however, due to ill-health it has not been run for a while. The engine turns over with compression, but it will need some recommissioning before use.
