Anyone know anything about the Randonne?
I was looking at the newer 200cc Randonnes for kick around town/trail maint/trials play bike but can't find much info on them in the US.
I believe Lewis Sport can get them, but I was curious what the msrp was on something like that. Anyone have any experience with them? |

I had ridden the 125.
It?s too weak. Maybe 10cv or something like that. I think that the 200cc is much better. Here (in Brasil) it's too expensive. Better buy an TXT with few more. But, it's an different game. Intersting. Maybe a good weapon on extreme trails. Too small to ride seated for long. Look "gasgas randonne narita" on youtube. There an crazy Japanese riddin one hard. There an ossa and one beta like this gasgas

VxZeroKnots I rode the Randone and bought the Sherco X ride . The Sherco has more power and seamed like a better deal . Check Moto connection he had one leftover . I had a trade involved so I am not sure what they are selling for ? But I love it and will have it a long time it is a blast to ride and I am over 6 feet tall .

I rode a Sherco x-ride around in a parking lot with some rocks and piles of dirt. it was pretty sweet but they are fairly pricy.

For what these type of bikes do they are pricy BUT FUN so you have to decide I did and do not regret it at all ! Heck if I learned anything the last few years it is that we live in a messed up world with no real way out ? Other than someday to stand in front of the pearly gates , so I am in a hurry to have all the fun I can . If you can afford a bike like this and only take it out a few times a year buy it , enjoy life is full of suprises . Just my thoughts on my Sherco X ride .

If you were a person that had a leg issue that your could not start a standard kick bike then think of it as a low powered trials bike with a seat that has electric start and you don't mix fuel. I have a trials bike, enduro bike and a X-ride. Everyone loves the X-ride for a stupid easy to ride go anywhere billy goat bike. It is not a trials bike but has a trials engine and it sure is not a high speed enduro bike. But to sit down or stand up ride it is perfect for both, if a bit short legged you will love it. I use for trail clean up work...hanging markers. Will not overheat when asked to idle for long periods of time (trials engine with fan). The engine is a long produced trials engine...parts zero issue. Yep huge gap in gearing but again, if racing take the enduro bike. Both Ryan (trials importer) and Clay (enduro importer) sell the X-ride. Most guys I know with them have managed to get a plate on them also for connecting trails. I think Ryan might have a leftover in stock that could be had for reasonable. Sorry, it is not a Gas Gas but they could build the same bike very easy.
