Kiwirider had an article on it. Sounds like a great bike. It's meant to be loosely based on a trials bike and real easy to ride. Although it's a bit of a 'Jack of all trades, master of none'

My Dad was planning to get one, but then we found the Montesa

I wonder what they'd give me as a trade in for the DT230? Probably half what I'd get for it privately.The bike is more where I want to go off road....but less where I want to go on road.I've only ever sat on one,and the CG feels very low,it feels like the whole bike is below your knees.

Yeah I agree Motu it'd be a good bike if you trailered your bike to all the rides. Would need an auxilary tank in my opinion. bit like these

Yeah but this one's cheaper

5 Grand is a great price for a 250 adventure/trail bike. I'm happy with my beast though.

I think you will find that the $5,332.44 would be exluding GST.

Add GST and it will take it up to the 6000 area.

**XTC** · 19th June 2006, 20:26

All the other listed prices are inclusive of GST.

I gather from your write up on the MMMMM ride that you've got one of these. What model have you got? Where did you get it? How much was it? What do you think of it? I really need some more range and this look like a possible alternative to a 2L coke bottle.

I have ridden one and they are a great little bike and would like to have one in my shed, for the real ugly tracks.

They are not really a race type bike, but are great fun bike to ride and will take you any where you want to go.

Small compacted and easy to ride with enough power to get you up anything and with a large fly wheel to get traction in the trickiest places, with great brakes.

A real nice bike and one of the only few small motored trail bikes I would like to own.

Fuck no! you wouldn't race the pampera. its a basic trail bike. based on a trials motor so it tractors along.
only have a quick ride of one a few years ago and seemed good.
