June 21, 201511 yr Hi, i'm looking at buying my first bike. Ive found a gasgas jtr 250 for a good price but it is 1995. Has anyone any experience with these bikes? Would it be a good cheap first bike? It says it has a slight engine rattle and gear lever is a little sticky? Anything to worry about? I'd appreciate any feedback! Cheers, Al Edited June 21, 201511 yr by alscott1984
June 21, 201511 yr walk away unless real cheap your buying problems if you ask me unless you want a project ?
June 21, 201511 yr Author Cheers mate, it's around £600 in really good condition. I was planning on riding it till winter then prepared to strip engine etc and do anything required. What you think?
June 21, 201511 yr I sold a 94 contact running not the best looking but with no faults for 400 you get what you pay for id personally spend a extra 3 or 4 hundred get something newer hassle free
June 21, 201511 yr Author There are a hand full of 1998 txt 250 around for a few hundred more. Would they be a better buy/ easier to maintain? I'm stretching my budget a bit. Thanks for the reply by the way
June 21, 201511 yr Author Ok cool thanks for the input. Maybe save for a bit longer and go for the txt. Cheers!
June 24, 201511 yr Author Thanks guys, now getting a 2000 txt 250, does look much more modern and great condition! Picking it up Saturday! Happy days! Cheers
June 24, 201511 yr Have a look also the Beta 200 & 250 Rev 3 bikes either would provide a good introduction to trials, good luck.
June 24, 201511 yr Author Yeh I looked at the beta but nothing in my price range, getting this txt past the wife was hard enough! Can't wait to start riding tho!
