I don't have any direct experience with the GPX bikes but they are made with many shared components in the same factories. Obviously, GPX has many more models and appears to be better funded to...

We had a CanAm 175 back in the late 70s. It was a beast but totally one-note powerband and we constantly were fouling the plug. Part of that was ignorance but it ran like shit most of the time.

I don't have it yet so I can only report what I've heard 2nd hand.
