Not knowing what your skill level was/is makes it difficult to advise you. Give the bike a try, if you can, and that will give you an idea. I've had new riders get along very well with the 300 and others find it too much of a handful. All bikes will react to your input, and your ability to "communicate" with the bike I think is an important factor to consider. Most new riders will generally find a smaller displacement bike easier to start out on.

cant test it out, doing apart ex with my supermoto with a bike shop , but i really wonted a 200 gas gas but offerd me a 300 gas gas instead dont no what to do now ,helpppppppppppppp

My guess is that if you can horse around a SuperMoto anywhere near it's limits, you'll have little problem with a 300.

i had a mid 90's beta that wanted to tear my arms out. then got a 300 i find it a lot easier to handle but mine has been tamed down a bit, but it's a easy bike to ride and I'm crap

Yeah, but supermoto tracks don't (often) have rocks that jump out in front of you.

Marky, if you find the 300 too much of a handful you can always try to part-ex the piston/barrel/head for a 280 or 250.

A friend of mine started trials last year, he has ridden motorbikes (a loon on a supermoto) for a long time and push bike trials too and was very good at that. He found an '05 300 GG for sale and got it. Throughout the year he found it a bit of a handful so he has downgraded to an '09 250 and finds it much more usable. He is much happier on the smaller bike. For getting back into it i'd recommend a 250 but if a 300 is the only availble for now then downgrading the barrel etc wouldn't be a problem.

many thanks guys if i could sell private i think i would still go for a 200 gas gas , but way the market is going no one wonts to part with any money , so a part ex may be the way cheers marky.

ice-marky,I still wouldn't rule out the 300 if the price is right.

It does depend mainly on your skill level but I've heard good reports about fitting a flywheel weight to ''wild- Gassers''.

...And...sit down and I'll tell you a story:

I was out practising not so long ago, with 2 very good riders (names withheld :ph34r:to protect their blushes,National boys even) in a little b1tch of a section.

Then an old school mate of mine (I'm 41 by the way)walked by with his dog,we waffled on about school and the days when he used to ride in the schoolboy trials...so I offered him a shot on a modern bike (04 Sherco)and,yes,you guessed it;

He romped straight through our section 'clean',made his modest,b.s. excuses about beginners luck and new bikes being too powerful..then left!

We were gobsmacked .....I'm just saying what JSE said, if you could ride well then it won't take you long to get back in the swing of things..if you've got the gift..which I haven't

Welcome back to Trials.

cheers dude the story was good lol, just didnt wont to go that size if its going to spit me off every five mins you no what its like u speak to people and they are saying dont go that big that fast, start smaller and work your way up, and if i go up to a 300 it might put me off

because i will be nerverse off its power and wont ride to my abillity

The good thing about Gassers is their tune-ability.

Easy to soften and easy to perk up.

The extra flywheel (with a few other mods....) works well on my 300.

They only go as fast as you tell em to !!!!!!! I started on a 280 and haven't regretted it, anything else seems gutless.

i learnt to ride on a scorpa 250 2 years ago and now my dad got me a gg 125 very happy with it very quick responce.. and its got engine mapping wich ive not got a clue on :L

i have heard the 300 is a monster. if you know you can handle it and the price is right, go for it. i ride a 280 pro model bike, my first modern bike, and at times that can be a handful since i dont weigh much, and havent ridden in quite a while.

Any of the modern 280 290 or 300 bikes can get away from you. The 300 is definitely on the high end of that. In low rpm twisties they all feel the same. If you get it what you will notice is that no matter what your situation if you twist the throttle it will go... with or with out you. One piece of advise, if you aren't going with it let it go. It will be fine. If you hang on it will take you to places you may or may not want to be. I had never been able to pull a wheelie in high gear in any other bike but this one. Im a bit power hungry and love mine.
