jonwhitesw Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 hi, im jon, from cornwall. i bought an old 1998 gas gas txt270 a couple years ago and rode it to death. i am now looking for another bike albeit a fair bit newer this time, something like a 2008 (gas gas or sherco etc.. depending which feels best on test ride) any recommendations? anyway thought id sign up and say hi as this site seems a great place. hope to catch a few of you at a trial in the near future (will be my first ever trial!) ill most likely be the one on my side, in the stream. cheers jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblenorbed Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 You could try a 250 , a much better sized machine for starting on. I made the mistake of buying a 290, got a 250 now. Massive difference. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive difference. Good luck. yeah i wouldn't mind a 250 although i don't find engine size too much of an issue, have ridden my old 270 and a montesa 315. i am going to try all different types of machine and get the one that feels best. what big differences did you notice between the 290 and 250 was it purely engine power or maneuverability etc?
