shercoman2k8 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Well, theres a few different options but guessing by your name your after a Gas Gas. At thirteen I wouldn't get a cadet, you may find it a bit small and you will soon be wanting to move on, it is certainly better to get a bike and spend time getting used to it than get a bike and have to get rid soon as you grow too big! I moved from a Yamaha pw80 to a Beta rev3 250cc when I was twelve but prefer 125's for the more useable power so got a sherco 125 a few months later. So... 125's, im sure you want a really light bike but to be honest you wouldn't notice the difference between a Gasser, Beta or Sherco if moving from a TY. Gas Gas are the lightest but sherco have the most bottom end... something you will come to love, unlike the Beta's or Gassers you can do most stuff in second or third gear, they are also easiest to work on. Beta's are said to have the best build quality but it is very hit and miss, many have problems but these should arise within the first few months and be covered by warranty, that is if your buying new, even if second hand, find a good one and it will last for years but they are the heaviest of the lot. Gas Gas are certainly the lightest of the lot but not too torquey. We dont know what goes on in your mind and what you prefer so cant tell you what to get. We can however point you in the right direction if you give us more info! So, after reading above are you interested in a 125? Are you good at bike maintenance? Are you bothered about weight? How long you planning on keeping it? What year model are you looking for? Whats your budget?

yamahaty250xox Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 you must must try a bike and see what suits your riding ability the most. There is no "best bike" to buy. Not many people who ride my beta actually like it, however i feel its the right bike for me. i cant get on with the shercos or gassers, i think it is the possision of the foot pegs. however there is no denying that Beta, Sherco, and Gas Gas all have there good and bad points. your best bet it to try a few out. But bear in mind that someones bike you ride, may not be set up as you would like it to be. Just bear that in mind. All the best, max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
