I went with the 1999 gas gas. Its in great condition and I just want something I can really throw around and not get mad if it gets a little beat on. Thats the best way for me to get better and in a year or two I want to get a much newer like 07 or 08. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the advice. Both bikes are in great condition, I am leaning more toward the the gas gas though because its cheaper. I only want a cheaper bike because I am going to really get into this and while I am learning I don't want to be holding back because I am afraid to damage the bike and ruin its value. If I get a cheaper/older bike then I wont be holding anything back. Im sure after a few years Ill step it up with a much newer one. I was just curious if there are any great advancements between the two that would make me want the 03 sherco rather then the 99 gas gas. If they are going to be near identical to a beginner then the cheaper is the better route to take. So if you know of any reasons to get one or the other then please let me know soon because I am possibly buying the gas gas very soon.

Hey thanks for your input. This is my first trials but I have been riding motorcycles a long time. I am going to buy a bike this week and want to know which you think is a better bike, the 2003 sherco 290 or the 1999 Gas Gas 270.
