shipdamite Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi all, I own a gas gas txt pro but am looking at a fantic 200 so I can do trials with the local club............... ................ basically, is the 1981 200 a good bike and is it a good twin shock for someone that has only been riding (or attempting to) ride trials since latter end of last year? I havent seen the bike yet, but it belongs to one of the club organisers, has had an engine rebuild and has not been 'restored' thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
