uksg85 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hello, I'm looking to buy a 09 -13 year gas gas bike 250/280 or 300. This will be my first bike so I was wanting advice on any models or years to avoid or parts to keep an eye on when viewing to buy and which is most reliable/easier to keep on top of maintenance wise. I'm not wanting an older pre 09 bike as I simply love the look of these models and I plan to keep it in tip top condition and run it for years so it won't act as the "beginner bike", more like "the bike". I am fairly mechanically minded so I will pick up the maintenance fairly quickly but any pre buying advice is greatly appreciated.

huski Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 250 2011 onwards would be the best for you.Better frame than the earlier ones,250 has as much power as you'll need and is less tiring to ride.Avoid 2012 with Formula brakes which can be awful,buy the best condition one you can find and afford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
