I am considering changing my EVO 250 2010 to a GAS GAS 250 2011,i am a novice but fancy a change,is it the right choice,any info would be great.

Both are good bikes, the gas gas is lighter and more sensitive to rider inputs whereas the Beta is a bit more stable in my view but i always find Betas difficult to find traction with. Others manage no problem to make them grip so its probably just down to a slightly different technique or stance.

You would want a good ride on it first, may not be your cuppa, all depends on you. All them sayings about wishing for come to mind.

Hi, I'm a gas gas rider now but had a rev 3 before, the gasser suits my riding style i.e Nutcase. The beta is built so much better than the gasser. In short the only reason I changed to a gasser is that I test rode the 20012 evo 300 and found it too soft on power and the handlebars were too low and and you cant fit risers to them unless you get the factory tripple clamps at over £500!!.

Basicly I would have an evo now if it was not for the handle bar scenario, The power would not be an issue as I would tune it how I want it.

The gas gas is cheap and nasty compared to the beta but they ride lovely and the power from my 300 is awesome.

If you are a novice rider stick to the beta if it is comfy and does what you want. A gasser will not make you ride like Adam Raga.

I had a 2008 rev3 moved on to a 2009 evo which was a great improvement. 2 months ago I bought a 2011 txt. My confidence on the bike has improved 100%. The gasser rides it's self. Fits me like a glove. I only ride novice. But I have gone from top ten finish to top 3 and even a couple of wins. From my experience it comes down to personal feel. And it's the gasser for me.
