Any of you gossipers got any info on when and where i can get a 250 raga rep. How much will they be? hope theyre not as epensie as the 300's

[TrialsUK]

They are going into production in next couple of weeks and any good GasGas dealer can sell you one mate but be prepared to say goodbye to the best part of 4 1/2 grand due to the ridiculous state of the pound/euro which is getting worse by the day

That is the figure I heard which is crazy!!
pound against euro aside, that is a HIGH price.

The old Raga reps were considered (at least by me) to be good value for money -
they only cost about £300 more, but for that you got - Ohlins shock, Keihin Carb, Magnesium crank case/swinging arm and several other add on bits.

At £4.5k that makes the Raga Rep about £800+ more than a standard 250.
I know you get the new frame, carbon silencer, diff rear wheel and so on - but there is no way that this equates to an additional £800 (bear in mind that they dont have the expense of the std frame, wheel, silencer etc) and they dont even give you the Keihin on the 250cc.

The price spread is not as bad here in Canada, but I believe one turnoff will be the 1+ litre fuel tank and the fact you have to take 2 screws out to get the cover off to get at it.

Not even sure that it's coming with that tank over here - could be wrong.
It was not mentioned on the GGUK notice on the trialscentral website.

If it does, then thats gonna have severe limitations for anyone wanting one and wanting to do single lap national events etc etc unless of course built in with that price they have someone tagging along with additional fuel for you

My Raga ran out of fuel twice recently at the Bemrose National trial and that was with the standard 2.8L (I think) fuel tank. Gonna use the large fuel tank from now on for these events.

All it says is 'new fuel tank (same capacity as 08 Pro's)
Dont think that these a 1Litre though

Looks like a pretty slim tank and doesn't look like there is a gas cap here.

Its still some nice piece of hardware though.

yea that's raga's bike, he has used a tank like this for a couple of seasons.
dont think standard raga rep will have this though.

Here,s one in the flesh. Shame to get it dirty!

[Dan Williams]

Ah my buddy with an '07 Raga is getting one soon. Can't wait to give it a spin.

[jordi]

Well thats its first trial done, fiery little beast! Will change the short front pipe for the longer version to see if it softens it just a little.
Felt nice though.

[postmanpat]

Not bad........good to see it's got a proper back wheel......just like a proper bike........... MONTESA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
