    First outing

    WELL IT'S HAD IT'S FIRST OUTING YESTERDAY, IT WAS VERY STIFF AND NEEDED SOFTENING UP, VERY VERY QUICK WHEN THE POWER VALVE OPENS ALMOST THROWS YOU OFF THE BACK OF THE BIKE WHEN YOUR NOT EXPECTING IT. EXTEMELY LIGHT AND AGILE, GOT TO LOOK AT CARB AS IT LEAKS FUEL THROUGH THE OVER FLOW PIPE IF IT LEANS TOO Far which still isn't much.

    Looked a great place to give it a go Jas. One of the boys up here had a 250 and it went well very light but never wanted to ride behind him as 2 stroke is ok for a few wiffs but after 20 mins of sniffing it, it quickly became sickening. Nice bike

    just thinking now the mighty XR might have to go up for sale when i get back from holiday nextweek.
    Don't really want to but can't see the point of keeping it if the gasgas will do everything the xr will, and the gasgas will be easier for Hare n Hounds

    Oh dear, but I guess if the gas gas is goin to be used for all you do its a no brainer. Just hope you dont do too much road work, thats all the guys here on 2Ts complain about
