January 31, 201016 yr Hi All, Just looking at upgrading from a 1994 160. Have seen a 2005 280 pro but I'm read they're a bit of an handful. Would moving from a 160 to the 280 be a jump too far. I would put myself as a novice/intermediate. Would a 250 be better? I have to say that I get the old 160 over most things, but I feel a more modern bike is going to be a whole lot lighter and easier to handle. Will it? Your experience would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Wayne.
February 4, 201016 yr Possibly a fair jump to a 280 cos the actual cc of the 160 is only 143. The 250's are quite managable if they are set up correctly with a flywheel weight and possibly a slow action throttle.
