Used Product For 6 Months Strengths fab brakes Weaknesses weak rear mud guard Similar Products Used beta 250 Review This is a fantastic bike with good all round front forks and a fairly tough rear shock the brakes are the best i've ever used on any of my bikes and it is just super light but it's only downfall is that i have had to replace the mudguard three times costing me a bomb

Used Product For 6 Months Strengths light, easy to ride, great brakes, SO SO fun Weaknesses nothing yet Similar Products Used all motocross stuff Review I ride expert level motocross, never tried trials. I've adjusted well to this bike and have had no mechanical problems. You can slam these things on rocks, lug the motor around up VERY steep stuff, the bike just pulls. Example: I accidentally started it in 2nd gear with the clutch out (Thinking it was not in gear). At 190 lbs, the bike fired up and road away with me no problem! I did put stiffer fork springs in it, but other than that, it runs great, fires on the 1st kick ALWAYS when warm, 2nd when cold, and I just love it!

Used Product For 1 Year Strengths Lightweight, suspension, flickability! Weaknesses airbox needs to be checked regulaly for water ingress Similar Products Used all 2005 models and makes Review I have recently ridden all the new 2005 models and the GasGas pro is still the best for me. It steers better now with the new (in 2004) forks and the airbox and carb problems are almost all sorted. The light weight of the bike makes it the best for trick riding and it i easy to work on and get parts for as all models in the range use many common parts...

Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths Lightness, Motor Weaknesses 2002 models, airbox Similar Products Used Gas-Gas, Beta's, Sherco's Review On the 2002, the stock clutch sucks. It would never really grab or engage well. Im using the new 2004 prototype clutch, which is tons better. The airbox cover also lets water in and can get trapped on the bottom. I sealed it up with some RTV, which helps. I think most of the problems where on the first years, and are fixed on current models. Overall a great and very flickable bike.

Strengths reliable Weaknesses heavier than other bikes Similar Products Used beat rev 3 250 Review i have had this bike for about 7 months and have had no problem apart from not maintained by previous owner. this is an excellent bike. it is very responsive, easy to manuver, very light. i also found the riding stance very comfortable. bad points are that its easy to think you can do anything when your riding this bike but always remember your riding limits and this will be the best bike you could evey use.
