a mx 2stroke 250 enough power to keep you happy and cheap maintenance

LOL

the rider in question here, is a female, and not a very big one.....

im pretty sure she couldnt kick one over.... at the start of the day

and im pretty sure the power would be far too ridiculous.- for once, this isnt a suitable application for a 250cc 2 stroke mx'er - however, for a full size man, definately!

[Rupe]

someone buy one of those gasgas's

i really want to know what theyre like

Pretty sure I've seen Birchy's mum on one....maybe he knows

[noobi]

The pamperas are good for absolute beginner riders, they are basically a trials bike engine in a trails bike frame with a subframe and full plastics.
So as such, if you put a 100kg rider on it and ride it hard ie. jumps, they have been known to break frames.

I think Joe has one. Good work Pornstar thats ideal for Spiked Punch. At the end of the day 99% of her riding is trail so light weight and low seat is important. If she wants to do MX then these two requirements don't come into the equation. Once you start in MX then you are riding all the time as opposed to the stop start nature of enduro, cross country or trail riding.

And an easy cheap 2 stroke on maintenance to boot.!!

But Spiked Punch is not a 100kg rider. She is (jeez I hope I get this right, gulp) about 60 kg and 5 foot nothing. Does not do alot of MX.

Take the bike for a ride and see what its like . easy pezy

iv heard that all gas-gas's have weak frames lol

Noob, do they make aftermarket pistons for the GGs? I had seen that pampera on there before and thought it seemed kinda cool, but I've never heard anything about them before. Just asking about the piston cause I was in spectrum the other day and they scared me away from GG a little with tales of $400 pistons....youch!
Has anyone here owned a pampera or has a mate with one? :0

[SpikedPunch]

Hhahah ^ dangerous

I'm choosing to ignore that bit

Edit: Also, thanks for all the suggestions guys! Very helpful and has definitely got my brain ticking. Great to see there are so many choices

PM Birchy and see if you could have a ride on their GG. Some times Joe comes to the Jolly Roosta ride. They are really neat folks.

i doubt youd have to change the piston in that bike much

[cheese]

Why not a 250 4 stroke and lower it..... I can't believe I suggested a 4 stroke..... But the bonus is that it will have alot more tractor power that you can use.

[noobi]

Yes Ktmboy you are right, I doubt Spikedpunch would break the frame, but thats just something that should be explained should someone bring it up. Also with that gassers have weak frame, they are an enduro bike, not built nor suspended for 200ft landings. And any bike will break if you push it hard enough.

$400 for a genuine piston kit, yea. But there are aftermarket pistons, like Wiseco, Vertex, Athena, ProX, Wossner, Namura, for around $200 or $250 a kit.
And I wouldnt imagine you would need the change the piston very often.

Midget might like to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure she got the rear shock shortened and went back to standard linkage arms to stop the tire hitting the mudguard on her KDX..................
