100% correct.
The G5T was only a limited edition motor. It is no longer being made.
A-Main and us down here in NZ got the last order out of the factory - we only have 18 units left ourselves.
Great little motor for the price. You guys have summed it up pretty well as far as the bottom end and top end.
It's not the GXII crank minus the epoxy as far as I know.
At that price you could afford to throw a GXII crank and 3 needle on one.
By the way, the G5T with the grey crankcase looks very cool with the GXII head and finned button fitted too - very exotic looking.
GO have something new coming out very soon to replace the G5T. Along the same lines - affordable entry level, but still competitive. 4 Port (4 + 2) sleeve I am told. Should be out in the next month or so.
