I've got 4 mates ( no-really!)who ride gassers...two have 280 pro's one of them a '05 the other a'04 ,they are a real handful as far as grip is concerned .. virtually unusable at my level of riding (rookie clubman).One other riding buddy has a 250 pro'05... this is less prone to spin up or rear up at you.. much more user friendly.
Buddy no.4 has a 300pro'06 which I haven't ridden yet - i've been crocked- and he's put a keihn on it (too wild man!),he says the torque catches you out especially when you are tired There you have it..just an opinion
So if someone put a gun to my head and said ''pick a gasser'' you know which one I would go for
