    I have a 280 R2, definitely my best bike ever. The motor has a flywheel weight on as standard and a claimed extra 4BHP over the previous standard model. Lovely engine, quicker than the lazy grunt of a 300 but with what feels like similar power/torque. Not like the 250 which, in standard form can provide a jerky low end response in comparison to the 280. The 280 has a very strong, linear power delivery, grips very well, picks up quick and is a buzz to ride.

    Peter just out of interest what was your previous bike to the R2

    The German magazine 'Trailsport' did a review of the 200, 250, 280 and 300. Their verdict is that the 280 feels softer than the 250. The 280 feels as it has less power than the 250 and behaves more tractor-like; more grunt as a 250 but not very lively. The 300 was described as a wolf in wolf's clothing...A bit too much and too quick for the reporter.
    (by the way: tricky to translate and summarise from German into English..)

    Upcoming in the next months (depending on Covid-19): the R version of 2020 models, the mandatory Lampkin replica and a Busto replica. So enough to choose from

     

    have you got a link to this review ???

    I also considering a Vertigo as my next trials bike, but the noisy fan is a big deal breaker for me.

    why does the fan make more noise than the engine itself?

     

    not sure why its noisy but also not sure why that would put you off buying one ????

    How much does "the friend" charge for making another one? ? (would need to ship to Cornwall, despite my Dewsbury accent....). Cheers Pal.

    I havent collected this one yet to make sure it works, once I have I'll ask him 

    for a price

    thanks tcrhino, I never got round to it this weekend as when I took my frame guards off behind them was

    full of sand and mud in the swinging arm bolt holes so I didn't  fancy doing it when it wasn't 100% clean

    so I'll take them off this weekend after riding and and give it a good wash then look at it this weekend.

    I ended up doing the oil and air filter and the air box so it wasn't a total loss.

    I have a Fajardo 300 too.How many kicks cold and warm does it take to start with the new pump?Mine is 4/5 cold and 1/2 warm if restarted within a few minutes of riding. 

    Was also wondering if your rear stock was set up to specification. I have never checked mine.

    Cheers John 

    John I have a Fajardo 250 and mine takes about the same amount of kicks yours does to start, I've checked my rear shock and it was set up 

    correctly

    I'd love to have a new Vertigo but the problem I have is the current second hand prices 

    I know of 2 fajardo replicias for sale locally a 300cc for £4500 and a 250cc for £3990 and 

    both these bikes are in excellent condition, but for a bike that cost £7295 and isnt 2 years

    old yet is a massive drop, or maybe its just me ????

    Same here, but colours can be different in real life. And it's mostly 'sticker color', which are easy to replace. 

    I've just had another look and its the yellow fork decals that look out of place to me everything

    else works with each other
