scott_king Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hey all Just been talking to my brother and he has seen a 2001 Gas Gas TXT 321 for sale. He is seriously tempted to buy it if the old ball and chain will allow him. I was just wondering if anyone could tell us what the bike is like to use and maybe some information about it? Also how much is it worth and what to look out for when buying one 2nd hand? Cheers in advance Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerj Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Hi Scott, I love my txt 321! It has fantastic low-end, hard to stall, and works perfectly for where I ride. But that is where I must "bow out" of the conversation! I'm not really riding trials, but woods. Here are a couple of links for you to peruse - TC thread GG 321 review Happy reading!

ridgrunr Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Yup, if it's in decent shape you can't go wrong. I love my 321 too. The 2001 probably had the best suspension of the bunch. Mine's a '99. There's really not any weak spots. They pretty much had them figured out by 2001. A decent 2001 could probably go for anywhere between $1800 and $2600.

327 mag Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Yup great bike. Current bikes don't have the same build quality. My '00 TXT321 has a lighter and smoother clutch pull than my '05 Pro. The old frame is a work of art and shines up better than the brand new ones. The TXT models require much less maintenance than the Pro's do too. I should sell mine but its tough letting such a good bike go. If she looks decent buy 'er ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
327 mag Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 In fact I love that bike so much thats where "327 Mag" comes from. Displacement is 327cc (not 321cc). I like to think of it as a Magnum. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerj Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Displacement is 327cc (not 321cc). Yes, and does anyone know why they call it a "321"?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
327 mag Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I dont know. But I like the way 327 sounds. Like an old v8 Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 they call it 321 because of a rock band called spinal tap. there amplifiers went to 11.......one more. Most bands play at full volume and where can you go from there....nowhere. which is why the ST amps went to 11.......1 more. The previuos motor, which was altogether different, was called a 320...where can you go from there...one more! I liked mine too when I had it. But a 300 pro is also nice.....
