scotty Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi guys , just wanted an opinion on whats the best bike out of a 250 beamish or a yam 250 majesty (i own both) to use for some green laning (twisty tight stuff) and in between minimal roadwork! i'd guess the suzuki as its quiter and smoother,less vibey? but havent tried both on the road so dont know? can only insure one of them so which one? (i know these bikes are not road bikes but a friend has just bought a 250 beamish and suggested doing the above!) thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 None of what you have, to me is up for the job. I would get a KTM 525 EXC, as an ex trials rider I have a KTM, which as long as the gearing is correct you can have loads of fun Green Laning and Trialing.

Sorry, but a 525 Katoom is no way the right tool for green laning - esp tight stuff.How to tee off the locals with the noise and flying mud,and lose loads of money in the process.Use it on the track where it was designed for.

woody Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Hi guys , just wanted an opinion on whats the best bike out of a 250 beamish or a yam 250 majesty (i own both) to use for some green laning (twisty tight stuff) and in between minimal roadwork! i'd guess the suzuki as its quiter and smoother,less vibey? but havent tried both on the road so dont know?can only insure one of them so which one?

Don't think there is any significant advantage to using one or the other, the different characteristics they have for trials riding won't really come into play for green laning. Go for the one with the biggest tank, therefore fuel range.... Anyway, that wasn't the point of my post. As regards insurance, Carole Nash will insure both bikes on a classic policy for very little more than it will cost to insure just the one. Just insure them as a Yamaha TY250 and Suzuki RL250, which is not actually a lie, to avoid unecessary complications as they probably won't have Beamish or Majesty listed. My Majesty is on a classic policy with them as a TY250. PS - either one will be horrible on the road....
