scotty97 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 The answer might be a bit biased being in a bike specific forum. But i currently got an old 99 Gasser 270 and im lookin to change for a newer bike. 2006 onwards. Im torn between the Sherco 290, A Scorpa or a GasGas. I love the look on the Shercos and the scorpas but have only had a gasser and love the way it rides. my friend has got a 2005 raga 300cc and i think its an awesome machine. Anyone got any opinions on the other two bikes???????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micm Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 TC advice is always to go and try them all. I'm sure you will find riders willing to let you test ride their bikes. And don't forget the Beta and Montesa while you are at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_scorpa3 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 If you can't decide which one suits you best after you've ridden them, just buy the best one that comes along for the money you wish to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty97 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Not interested in a beta, and the monts all seem alot more expensive. Anything to look out for on the sherco 290s 2006 onwards??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtlr Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 check the rear shock, i you find a bike with an upgraded shock its worth the extra cash best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlracer Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Copie, heal,heal down boy ! , hehe . If you can swing the funds the 2010 Sherco is nice. When Copie get's back from TTC next week i'm sure he will be chiming in on it. Copie -Wayne took a bunch of detailed photos on my bike while I was taking it apart, contact him and he'll send them to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 If you're used to riding a 99 gasser then the sherco will feel natural to you & weight about 10kg less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Is it fact or fiction but ive heard that the Tanks on the 2010 were splitting. A friend said he knew of serveral riders he named had issues. As for me pegs falling off its me gearbox that went last year if you like a laugh. That said its best bike ive had and im riding better than ever thanks to it. Just wished id not had 5K on me teeth or id have a new bike, or well looking good.

Gassers often take a few teeth with them when the gearbox goes. Good bikes though. When I turn Pro, I'm gonna get one, till then? My a*** looks just like Adam Raga's!!!!!
