It is often said that real men cry................ I have an 05 Raga rep as as a first bike after years of enduros. I love the Raga as it requires respect! I did have a bash for a couple of weeks on a TXT 250 and it felt breathless and no instant punch. I will admit though if you are not 100% concentrating you can find your self on the way to orbit as all your mates giggle and say " I bet he wishes he had an even wetter setting". I would leave it alone and just respect the masterpiece you have. Change when you have no other option.

I think that you are gutsy to buy a Raga for a first bike

I'm not sure 'gutsy' is the right word

After riding an 1100cc Honda Blackbird for a couple of years, I didn't think the 20cc difference between a Beta 250 and 270 would make much difference but it did - especially after a smart-a*** so called 'mate' of mine suggested I put a fast action throttle on it
