Default Now 2 Gassers in the garage!

Picked up a very nice little EC200 today.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/2647103736.html

Got to take it for a spin after getting it home today and wow! Fun bike! Great power delivery and this bike is so clean, in near perfect condition and needs nothing.

It is officially for my son, but dad may have to take it out for some rides from time to time

Oh wow looks fantastic and at that price! So just how well does that 200 pull in the low - mid range and how does the weight feel? I want a 2012 GG200 so bad; I think but have never ridden any ones 200. Congrats.

John, if you are going to Birch Creek next weekend, look us up and you can ride a 2011 with a Rekluse, Leo Vince silencer and Ulrich Suspension! It will be there all weekend. Charcoal Ford dually with Raptor 5th wheel beside a white F-150 and Passport travel trailer.

Thanks. I cant wait to get it out and put it through a thorough test. Unfortunately, it is a surprise Christmas present for my son, so it might be quite some time before I get it out. I might have to sneak it out before our weather turns ugly.

I only got to ride it briefly around my folks property and it lugs well. I think it is stock gearing, so 1st is a bit tall, but an easy fix.

The bike is super clean and loaded. I will add a pipe guard, some narrow woods bars and the trials tire and she will be a great woods weapon.

What model Motoz tire are you guys using? I tried the Tractionator XCircuit tire on the rear and it was by far the worst tire I have ever had on a bike in my life. Very sketchy traction and done in a day. I would still be open to trying the tractionator enduro or tracula. What PSI do you run? I was running 12 psi

We always used to run S12's around here as they worked awesome, but they went down hill on wear when they stopped making them in Spain.

Sorry for the hijack, that is a nice bike you picked up, I hope you enjoy it.
