jaan Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I've read many times that Fantic 240 Pro is the best twinshock bike ever. Do you agree or...? Best features, weaknesses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 No one twinshock trials bike is best for everything/everybody, but many people have a favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 vesty won on the Bultaco so thats good enough for me, but the SWM that came after maybe had the edge at the top level? Burgat at his best took some beating, then came the monoshocks. I believe that setting them up and getting them running sweet is no mean achievement though wheras a sorted 'taco is easy to do.

jaan Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 So what's the secret of Fantic 200? I have Montesa Cota 348, could you please compare them and tell about the most important differencies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedronicman Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 My totally biased opinion obviously - SWM 320 PROS- grips better than anything i have ridden (i have ridden many bikes) very well built, very reliable , tons of torquey usable power -but not too powerful parts still readily available CONS- a bit heavy than some , but this helps with the grip this is obviously going to get some replies!! but its my opinion! everybody has their favorite/opinion.

fellonmelug Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I can honestly say the SWM 320 was the worst bike I ever had , 8 months of hell . Total waste of money ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The best Twinshock models from the large scale production manufacturers are the bikes which cost the most money to buy now, which brings it back to: Honda, Fantic, and then Yam, SWM, Bultaco......But for me its the Fantic 240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree with you, dont remember it being to heavy, 280 was the best engine. Had to run it a bit rich to get it to grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
