funtrials

I'm considering either a 2008 Gas Gas 250, or 280, or 300, or a (used, or do they make new ones?) "Raga" model. I weigh around 200 lbs. (91 kg), and am in the expert class (well I WAS, before I quit years ago....but hopefully after a few months I'll be back in form.) I've tried an older 250 and a 2007 280, but it's kind of hard to really TELL what I'd like better after just a short ride. I'm not concerned about the price differences. My question is: what factors/differences do YOU GUYS see between these 4 bikes for me!? Thanks. Quite a knowledgeable group of riders on this forum! FYI: "Search" didn't work for me.

I've been reading TC for many years now, but haven't registered. Which new bike will I buy? Well, I'm thinking about buying a Gas Gas...but maybe a Beta would be good....then again I've heard good things about the Montesa....but I'm also looking at Scorpa...but you know, I should check into the Sherco as well. What I like the most on this forum is the international trials coverage (FIM). But when I get a new bike, I think I'll use this FORUM even more than I use the international trials coverage (FIM) parts of the web site! Keep yer feet up.
