frandog1985 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi there I've come from riding enduro's ( green laneing ) to trials I've been riding a sherco 290 2010 model and the bikes great but I now want a brand new one but not sure which is the best bike out on the market ? Opinions would be more than welcome good and bad points Cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 As stated "A NEW One" !!!! New is usually better, with the exception then you must prep and modify it with bling to taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frandog1985 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I mean out of all the makes and models ( sherco, montesa, beta, gasgas ...etc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfc Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Beta for me, but you need to find a dealer that has a practice ground and try them all. Good luck and enjoy your time trying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sherco and GasGas are both running test days soon. Gas Gas At Hawks Nest and Sherco near Pateley Bridge. SXS are looking at running one at Parkwood 4x4 at Tong Near Bradford for Jotagas but it is not confirmed as yet. I do know a dealer that will let you try or even borrow a Beta but Beta as yet haven't got a test day booked anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Define "best". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_b Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Buy a gas gas. Anything else and people will sneer at you. And buy some white boots, less marks dropped cos you'll want to keep them clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Define "best". GasGas!!! Unfortunately "Best" means something different to everyone. Frandog1985, Could you provide what aspects matter most to you? Reliability handling power balance turning dealer support spare parts price etc.... Every manufacturer has their own little things to keep an eye on. So ultimately you should try to get a ride on every bike you may have an interest in. Also remember engine size will make a bike handle/ride differently. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
