What is the difference between a 2003 280 TXT and a 2003 280 PRO, especially for a novice rider. What should I be looking for ( or not ) when buying

Thank you for the advise

Hi, I think it's the same bike, I ride a TXT PRO 250 2012

Cheers Taff

The TXT edition was the old engine that was very reliable, the Pro in `03 was not very good.

In 2003 there were two models of 280.

the TXT Edition 280 and the TXT PRO 280

 

the TXT Edition 280 had the older engine and frame.

 

 

The 2003 TXT PRO 280 had the new pro engine and the new frame.

 

 

(I have a 2003 PRO 300 and has been very reliable, the 2002 bikes were the first year for the PRO and were not very good, but some had been retrofitted with upgraded parts)

And the two are quite different bikes. FOr beginners and old skool type riding the older model is better (and almost indistructable), the newer is lighter and more agressive (but needs more money for maintainance and parts).

Got an 03 TXT Pro 200, good bike, been very reliable for me.

Thank you all it turn the light on.
