sawtooth Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Looking at a 2012 280 Racing, is there any reason a standard bike might be better, or is the Racing the one to go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgas Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I've got a 2012 300 racing it's bin a great bike but I'd avoid buying one reason being it was the last model with gold magnesium crank cases , mine started peeling off after two weeks and now looks horrendous, plus the formula brakes arnt the best, if you can find a 2012 raga I'd go for one of them , hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 The gold crankcases are not a worry. But I would only buy something with AJP brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawtooth Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm glad I asked the question first, I'll avoid that then and wait for a normal 280 to come along then :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
