May 8, 200719 yr hello, have a line on a gas gas 200... 01' im a big guy 6'1'' 290lb's ... this bike pull me around ? interested in a play trials bike on my farm. heck ? may be a stupid question ? gear it down ? anyhoo, thoughts ? weet
May 9, 200719 yr I wouldn't know for sure but 6.1 and 290??? on a Gasser 200!! me thinky, it go snapp! If your hooked on a Gasser,,maybe a older 321. A man your size should buck-up and check out a Beta or Monty. Just my opinion. Edited May 9, 200719 yr by Half a tire Right
May 9, 200719 yr The newer 200 pro's will work, the older ones are a bit weak for a big boy, but gentle! You would be amazed what they can do!

My lad had a 2001 Gas Gas 200 and I lent it to an Expert pal of mine a few times who's around 250lb and it coped brilliantly. Edited May 9, 200719 yr by scorpa3

May 21, 200719 yr I'm about your weight and borrowed my sons 125 (2004) for the first three club trials this year. I won my class in the two of them and came third in the other. I'm not that good a rider either. I think the 200 should be fine for a starter.
