gixer1 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Folks, Can anyone offer advise or information on a 2005 Gas Gas TXT Pro 300 Raga replica? Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 All I can say is that their performance is probably as good as any modern trials bike. I've never owned a gas gas but I know people who have them and I don't think they're as well put together as the beta's. more likely to start coming apart. My mates TXT has needed some mending while my beta just keeps going. He does give it some hammer though, but he also opines that the beta's are better nailed together if you know what I mean.

landrover Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) to be honest, go for a beta 270 or the sherco, gas gas seem to be a bit savage, just my opinion, brother used to have one, always seemed to be wanting to go on the back wheel what was wrong with the sherco you were looking at Edited November 16, 2012 by landrover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as bad as my fantic 363 k roo though, that's more like an enduro engine, harsh and gruff by comparison. Not at all forgiving and more likely to spit you off the back. LOL.

gixer1 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Heard too many bad things about sherco's a friend had. 2011 on and used it in the ssdt and it was pretty much scrap by the end of it apparently. Just sold the beta so fancied a gas gas... Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the build quality or the power delivery compared to the beta. Just my opinion though. I'm sure others would disagree. If you get a gas gas, good luck.

gixer1 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I think I was following the pack a bit to be honest as two friends have gas gas's (one a txt pro240 and the other a contact 270) also the left hand kick start bugged me a bit and the working around the big lump of a frame to maintain it, this is what put me off a rev3 or Evo and the fact there seems to be a large supply of gas gas parts. A scorpa did appeal but I was told the gas gas was better for trail riding with a bit of trials riding. And the tarted up factor of the raga Regards, Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
