alscott1984 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Hi, i'm looking at buying my first bike. Ive found a gasgas jtr 250 for a good price but it is 1995. Has anyone any experience with these bikes? Would it be a good cheap first bike? It says it has a slight engine rattle and gear lever is a little sticky? Anything to worry about? I'd appreciate any feedback! Cheers, Al Edited June 21, 2015 by alscott1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr1983 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 walk away unless real cheap your buying problems if you ask me unless you want a project ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscott1984 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Cheers mate, it's around £600 in really good condition. I was planning on riding it till winter then prepared to strip engine etc and do anything required. What you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr1983 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I sold a 94 contact running not the best looking but with no faults for 400 you get what you pay for id personally spend a extra 3 or 4 hundred get something newer hassle free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscott1984 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 There are a hand full of 1998 txt 250 around for a few hundred more. Would they be a better buy/ easier to maintain? I'm stretching my budget a bit. Thanks for the reply by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscott1984 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Ok cool thanks for the input. Maybe save for a bit longer and go for the txt. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybond700 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Nice! Those are great bikes. Parts still available, but almost no needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Have a look also the Beta 200 & 250 Rev 3 bikes either would provide a good introduction to trials, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscott1984 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Yeh I looked at the beta but nothing in my price range, getting this txt past the wife was hard enough! Can't wait to start riding tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
