i got a sherco 290 as my first bike which was a bit scary at first, but after a while of getting used to it i wud never have wanted anything else, now i am more confident i just manhandle the bike and tell it what to do, instead of it telling me what to do ha, also on the plus side i wont need to by a more powerfull bike instead of going from a 125 - a 250. altho getting a 125 does have its benefits my dad had a go on the 290 when i first got it and it dragged him along which **** him up a bit.
