hop blip and a jump Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 The 250 will be easier to learn on, the 01' sherco 290 was a bit like a cr500!!!! a beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubs Posted November 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 thanks cr500 i rode one once and that was enough does anyone know a company that makes uprated springs for them also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzilla Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Get a 250, far better to learn on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arun1664 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I had a 2001, 290 as a beginner (not now!), get a 250. I am trying to get down to your weight so I don't think you will need to mess around with springs for a while especially as a beginner, Suggest you try the bike as it arrives before messing about with springs.
