Best Bike To Buy ? ( Opinions Wanted )

Featured Replies

Hi there I've come from riding enduro's ( green laneing ) to trials I've been riding a sherco 290 2010 model and the bikes great but I now want a brand new one but not sure which is the best bike out on the market ? Opinions would be more than welcome good and bad points

Cheers

Adam

As stated "A NEW One" !!!!

New is usually better, with the exception then you must prep and modify it with bling to taste!

I mean out of all the makes and models ( sherco, montesa, beta, gasgas ...etc )

beta for me no hesitation i have a evo 250 09 that i ride every sunday for 4 to 6 hours still on original piston runs perfect love it

Beta for me, but you need to find a dealer that has a practice ground and try them all.

Good luck and enjoy your time trying them.

Sherco and GasGas are both running test days soon. Gas Gas At Hawks Nest and Sherco near Pateley Bridge. SXS are looking at running one at Parkwood 4x4 at Tong Near Bradford for Jotagas but it is not confirmed as yet. I do know a dealer that will let you try or even borrow a Beta but Beta as yet haven't got a test day booked anywhere.

Buy a gas gas. Anything else and people will sneer at you. And buy some white boots, less marks dropped cos you'll want to keep them clean

Define "best".

GasGas!!!

:rotfl:

Unfortunately "Best" means something different to everyone.

Frandog1985,

Could you provide what aspects matter most to you?

Reliability

handling

power

balance

turning

dealer support

spare parts price

etc....

Every manufacturer has their own little things to keep an eye on. So ultimately you should try to get a ride on every bike you may have an interest in. Also remember engine size will make a bike handle/ride differently.

Good luck.
