I have a 300 2005 raga and love it , i just put a slow throttle on it to calm it and have never had any issues, you cant have to much power in my opinion. Its my first trials after years of road , enduro bikes, and im very happy with it . Parts a easy available and pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samy Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 but now ive seen what the new bikes can do ive warmed to them so do you think id be beter with a modan bike? See if you can get down to a club trial or give a club a call to see if they are holding any "come and try" days. New bikes are always surprisingly more easy and better to ride than even the previous year. The only way to know if its for you is to try one out. The last thing you want to do is buy a modern bike without trying one out first and then deciding you'd rather ride the older bikes. Try them all, to me the gas gas's and sherco's feel great, but I grew up with gas gas. Beta's always felt a bit short or like I was too far over the bars through I havnt had the chance to try an Evo. I havn't tried a modern Montesa either. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers As you say there is a massive difference in newer bikes, mine compared to my mate 93 model and other mates beta is massive, miles lighter and better balanced. Ive not rode a twin shock since my teenage years, but i like modern bikes anyway. Get a ride on one im sure you wont look back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
