Hi guys, ive also got a 2008 cr125 , origionally I wanted a GAS GAS ec125 but the but the importer didnt have one, he then offered me a 08 cr 125 at a very good price fitted up with all the WR bits (pipe, flywheel weight, magneto,lights,gearing). It can only be described as stunning, stacks of...

I would go with Steve, the electrics on some of those euro built bikes arn't that flash i had the same thing happen to one of mine years ago , check out the price of a new one or get it rewound,

I remember the climber way back (i nearly brought one) loved the way it rode - not as good as my rev3 but then again 10 ys have past. There after $6500 for a new txt rookie 80 here (07 model) & the Beta is much the same , second hand ones are hard to get as well. I just dont want to part with...

Hey thats in very good condition for the age, Ive been looking for something like for my 9 yr old son so he can learn some skills rather than just riding his KTM sx65. Ive also looked at the BETA 80cc but there isnt that many around here & they seem to hold there price. What sort of money did...

No its cool, I am one of those people, although I do get out on the bike every 2nd weekend, usually with the wife & son , I am intending to start riding in the next IXION club trial, main reason is to get the boy keen on trials (8 yr old) so he can advance his mx & trail riding skills. The...

Yes I know him not sure where hes living now thow,Ive been around trials since i was about 13 so ive met most of them, I got into bikes thru John Lawton (NZ BETA importer) who has remained a close family friend. Alex

Originally from Wellington,have been living in a little tin pot town called Levin for the last 5 ys, 1 1/4 hrs north of Wellington or 45 mins south of Palmerston North. Alex

Ive got a Beta 250 REV3 & really enjoy the slightly less snappy power delivery it tends to produce, handling is very similar to the Gassa, attention to detail on the Beta I believe to be streets ahead of the others.

Hi Kim the worst thing is that the Gas Gas has never broken (I have) so this is the first Gassa item i've ever needed (piston & rings (not really a major)) in 5 years. The bike itself will go down as one of the all time stunning bikes ive ever owned, But the bits have been on order for over 9...

Ec 50 / Sm 50 Hi Jeff, the motor in the Gassa is the pre 2000 Derbi unit, the first thing i noticed is no hydraulic clutch, it does make me wonder why they would of done that ( save money?), I have ridden the snot out of my wifes Ec 50 & the clutch is only now showing signs of wearing after...

tm EN 144 Hi Guys, I am just about to order a new 144 EN $11895 NZ$, not the cheapest in the world but has all the good stuff as standard, I will get the importer to set up the mixtures. Im not a racer(not even fast these days) just trail rides & the odd enduro. I did look at a new Gas Gas...

Ec 50 / Sm 50 Hi Jeff, originally when I was looking I had the same run around like you got - it wasn't until I emailed some racers over in Europe that they identified the motor & 2 different people came back with it being the Derbi Senda, etc & Gillera power plants as I couldn't find any...

Ec 50 / Sm 50 Hi all, I just found this site - at last, I have the EC50 which is pretty much identical to the SM, purchased it at 6 mths old in 2003 for the wife, sold my own bike & started riding hers, at first i hated it (lack of power)but then learned how to ride it (ring its ass every...
