Went to the Bob McGregor Trials Ground yesterday , mainly to test the Vertigo , I

also was interested to see what the facility was like . Got to say the Venue is

brilliant , the people very friendly & helpful, from Murdo ( organiser) to the girls in

cafe . Many thanks to Nick (Vertigo ) for the test ride , trouble is I went convinced

I wanted the 300 ( I have a 300 Sherco ) but I thought the 250 was brilliant !! What is holding me off ordering the 250 , is all the other people who tested the

250 ( I spoke to 6 ) all own 2016 300s , and they preferred the 300 !! I rode Nicks

300 Ice Hell 2016 & Murdos Camo 300 2016 ( with flywheel weight ) ) & still

Preferred the 2017 250 . Because the venue was bone dry , grip wasn't an issue

, and that's were I am worried ? All the. Owners of the 300s commented on how

fantastic the grip in wet conditions their bike had ( is the 250 as good , my only worry ) by the way the 300 riders varied from Novice to Expert 30 -58 in age .

What to do ?

Hang on to your Sherco, perhaps? Brilliant bike after all.

And if you're still worn down by doubts, use the money you save on counselling sessions.

Fair comment , but Sherco is 2013 model & I fancy a new bike . They have another test day in Nov , might

wait & go to that , not really in any mad rush to change bikes &'would rather wait than make a decision

I could regret , 6k is a lot of money if your unsure .

Great to meet you at the academy Saturday glade you enjoyed your visit. You should have been to our trial on Sunday after it rained all the vertigo boys were smiling 3rd gear softest map setting & loads grip over wet logs & all grassy banks

Hi Murdo , are u still convinced the 300 is the bike to have against the 250 ? By the way is Practice open this weekend ? 8th Oct was thinking of coming over , be great if your around for a chat ?
