Ok hmm many opinions now. ; )
Fact about me
Been riding bikes since 7 years old mostly offroad, 85kg, 183cm, age 31. Been/are doing agressive inlines, windsurf, mtb, kayak.
Will a 125cc be sufficient for me if i decide to learn the right way? or is my weigth to much?
I've been looking for a 200-250 but it looks like no one buy them. Theres plenty of 280-300 and some 125 on the swedish market.
I've been looking at gg 125 -10, beta 125 -11, beta 290 -11
they say that beta 290 has i smooth and nice power and that makes it kind of interesting. I belive there are mods to make them even easier to drive.
When you say you learn the rigth tecnique with a 125 do you mean that you have to be more active in jumping the bike and to load up the flywheel with power and use clutchcontrol to jump a step for example? Can someone explain where a 125 and a 290 differ the most in a section. Is the the slippery stuff or steps and so on. Ham2 gave me a hint so far.
Is it possible to say that with a big cc bike you
*must have good throttle control
*must be able to move around more rotating mass
*are able to climd longer and steeper hills
*are able to several big steps in a row
*must be in better shape/condition to manage the same time as a lesser cc bike
