wynthorpe Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Im looking for a cheap bike at the moment and this has caught my attention http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gas-Gas-trials-motorcycle-/371728690474?hash=item568cc1ad2a:g:mVsAAOSwubRXMIF0 Its had its engine replaced with the 125 unit, will this affect the bike at all? would i be able to put a 250 in it easy enough later on? Bike looks quite tidy for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Probably nothing against it being a 125, but the whole bike is subject to the usual bought-unseen risk of eBay purchases, ie it might be OK or have quite a lot of issues which need sorting at a cost as yet unknown. "Well maintained" could mean it's been cosseted with no expense spared, or been jet washed to death and shoved in the back of the garage until the next ride.

wynthorpe Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Sure I understand that, but it's an advert so will go view it first. Do it being a 125 isn't a problem? I could in theory go back to being a 250 no problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 If you want a 125 it's worth a look,if you're thinking a 250 would be better buy a 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynn Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thats not a 2004, its an 02 from the looks of the clutch casing and radiator shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wynthorpe Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for all the advice guys, i'll give it a swerve and spend a little more on something better known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 "Thanks for all the advice guys, I'll give it a swerve and spend a little more on something better known." Good decision. Plenty of other bikes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wynthorpe Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 2003 by the plastics on the radiator and the type of airbox on it ......I do not think that there is much to worry about if you look who is selling it; as he is an ace mechanic and would not sell rubbish. Its a good price. Im not aware who the guy is Oni nou? I take it he's well known? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
