I had a 2009 bike a 280r,previously had a few different bikes gas gas/beta etc and decided to bite the bullet and go for a newer bike,luckily still kept my trusty mont 315 2004! Anyhow the xispa looked good and was a bargain for an 09 bike,test rode it felt good as it does when new,then the sh.t slowly hit the fan i'll list it as i go, i'm 13 stone no super heavy weight,the rear shock was set as stiff as poss still waaay to soft,in turn made the fork rake/head angle so slack it ploughed in the corners and turned like a barge,forks are absolute crap and twist and flex under any hard riding,kickstart clips the frame and slowlys eats away at the alloy until it snaps,a absolute nightmare to start unless hot,sumpguard/bashplate way to low bottoms out on lots that my mont would roll over with ease,the whole bike was getting worse with every wash graphics plastics etc,i had one for a week and that was long enough for me,it actually made we want to stop riding trials and i was looking for another bike quick sharp,the 2nd hand value was shocking the guy really didn't want the bike and i lost nearly 900 quid in a week on a px,i think the bike would be ok for a new comer who didnt ride a lot and just wanted to mess about on a new bike but anyone who wants to ride half seriously give it a miss it's a T.B.S.O a Trials Bike Shaped Object!
