peterb Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hi Mike, I tested the 08 280 in Italy last week over a few dry rock sections and cambers. It was set up for a top expert rider so had the bars well forward at a silly angle, as they do. Gear ratios did feel a little different though not so easy to tell. Footrests felt lower and slightly farther back. Power was typically GG, very responsive and strong, quite a torquey motor. It pulled strongly from low revs in the first 3 gears with a linear power delivery. Didn't have anywhere to try it out in higher gears. Gear selection was smoother than older models. The ride felt pretty much the same as my 06 Raga 300, very light bike that responds well to rider input and was precise. Fuel tank is a little larger and sits up higher at the front. I didn't like the front light plastic. The 280 is available in either red or blue. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinell Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I've only just seen the 08 GG, looks nice... especially with the stretched Beta light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I thought the front light looked pretty naff, but then I am old fashioned and really, it doesn't matter in the greater scheme of things. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
