dazza24 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Has anyone ridden the new gassers? Thinking about a 280 or 300, but not sure if the new ones are much better than th 08's (They are cheap new now). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 I've ridden a 250,better steering and slightly lighter than the previous model,footrests seemed lower and further back giving a better riding position.It's definitly better than an 08 if you can afford it,I don't know the price difference between the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc1 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 The 09 will always be worth more than an 08. The 09 - new frame - will always be easier to sell..... Having made the switch - but also gone from 250 to 300 - I'd say get the 09. Chassis feels more stable, more "planted". It keeps a line better, less deflection & gives the rider confidence it'll absorb the hit & stay on line. Easier to work on - tidier & more room. Only slight downside is it feels a little heavier on the front - but maybe that's a 300 characteristic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
