Oi Gibber how does it go for your size/weight? I'm an inch or 2 taller than ya & probably 110kg+ RTR so just curious how it is for bigger blokes(opposed to ktm/beta).
What did 250 set ya back on road? |

It's interesting that this just about gets my 'bar end in line with the fork caps - where I like it to be comfy in standing attack. The stock 'bar has a fairly overgenerous (imho) 55mm sweep, so I roll it forward. Now the bike is comfy as. Re price - pretty much no deals as the bike's are new & in demand. I just got a couple of things chucked in for nix is all. Worth every penny so far. |

Get a 200 Craig! You know you wants one.
The one I sat on felt similar in height to my 2013 model, maybe a tad taller but I wasn't geared up and only had pluggers on instead of boots. Felt very familiar. Haven't had one in motion yet, should really go see Deano.. I don't want to know what I'm missing though! |

Sorry, Jakobi, but - a lot.
Not before time, the bike has been put in a sling-shot to 2018 - lighter, more agile, more power ('18 300 compared to '13 300) & better suspension, obviously. They are more Beta-KTM in ergos/feel but the motor still sounds & rides like a Gas Gas. |

I really do know what I'm missing though. They have stepped up and built the bike I'd have built myself given the chance Been asking for a well suspended euro registerable 2T that is available at a reasonable/fair price point for some time.. and look what the cat dragged in! |

100km now & this is one heck of a dirt bike.
13/50 gearing, NEDW #2 (hot here atm), 42p/175m, a/s 1.5, Motul 710/98RON @ 2% - still rich right off idle, but I'll go 40p & reassess. The bike has as much torque low down as many 300's I've ridden. Cracking motor. KYB's are superb - haven't touched them. I'm 92kg on the bike. E-start all good so far, build quality all around fantastic. Loose spokes are the only thing I've tweaked. Note - new chain needed if going bigger than 13/49. This bike has oodles of power, handles beautifully &, to my eye, is engineered and finished to as high a standard as any other brand. Just quietly, I reckon this bike will be remembered as a bit of a classic.. |
