the_oil_baron Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 When I get back from messing around with drilling rigs (hence the time spent surfing our local ads and not working) in the Middle East at the end of the month I'm looking at moving up from my trusty old Rev3. The Rev3 is a far better bike than I am rider but wifey says I can so I will. Well she's having a new baby (due around the day I get home) so I'm having a new bike .......that was my argument anyway. There's a 2012 and a 2014 250 Evo for sale not too far away and and I'm wondering what if any is the difference. More to the point would a fat, aging but enthusiastic amateur who spends more time upside down in the mud rather than right way up ever notice. We don't actually compete around here we just give each other style points for hitting trees. There's not much money difference between the two but the 2012 looks mint and has a low comp head fitted (if my french translation is any good) which might suit my wobbly style and our muddy banks better... In an ideal world I'd like a four stroke but they're expensive, rare as rocking horse dung in these parts and I can't justify a new one without getting her pregnant again...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 So, getting your leg over = owning a Beta 4 stroke, sounds like a double win. I think the evo frame changed for more petrol capacity in 2014. I would get the newest model, unless its a wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_oil_baron Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 After a difficult birth the new arrival turned up today.....a 2011 Evo 300 4t......and I am one very happy parent. .............. not the newish two stroke as expected but rarely for this area a tidy four stroke popped up at dead right money and I beat seven other callers to the guys door. The baby turned up a 3 weeks ago but I'm concerned......I think he might want a GasGas...any advice on this family dilemma would be gratefully received...

pa. Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 The baby turned up a 3 weeks ago but I'm concerned......I think he might want a GasGas...any advice on this family dilemma would be gratefully received... Take him back to the Hospital and demand your correct baby as this one is obviously not yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barfy Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'd say let him have the Gas Gas so he's able to learn from his own mistakes. You can't keep hem wrapped in cotton wool for all their lives. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
