At this point, I wouldn't even consider a chinese bike. I don't look at their ads, read their reviews, nothing. The only experience I've had with any of the chinese bikes are the pit bikes a few friends picked up...the things were destroyed the first day out. Anyway, that's my 2 cents...if...

Hey Nick- I was over at his house today, we're gonna get out on a real ride so I can put it through it's paces. Running it up and down the street doesn't do it justice, and he said I wont really appreciate it until we get out in some nasty trail. I was wrong, he has an 05 300, not an 06...

Any luck with this yet? I use IE7, which I actually like, but no back/forward buttons... If anyone is interested, you can also use the ALT + left arrow or ALT + right arrow for back and forward navigation. Admin, I think javascript is being used for opening the new window, something like...

Nick, thanks...sounds good. A friend of mine has an 06 300...I was gonna get a ride today, but we couldn't get it together. I hope tomorrow will work out. He is going to give me soooooooooo much crap, because I've given him a hard time about his GasGas bikes for years. All in good fun of...

Thanks guys...I really appreciate the responses. This seems like a real tight group, and not a lot of times will someone throw out there to let someone they don't know take their ride out for a spin. I'll get my profile adjusted so everyone knows where I'm from. I live in Northern California...

I'm just hoping decent suspension alone will help out. I'm a big guy, so I always end up putting in new springs/valving. My CRF was really planted...but, it was also raked out a bit more than a woods bike, which adds to higher speed stability. But what I really liked about the crf was I...

Thanks for the reply. As long as I can buy an 08 (seems there distributor problems going on from what I read in one of the posts), it's the bike I'm buying next. Once the KTM 08 buying frenzy has calmed down, I'll be selling the 250 xcw, and if it gets timed right, the 08 GG should be...

Thanks, that did help. He original www.gasgas.com webpage I went to was all trials bikes. The website still doesn't mention suspension. Is getting ohlins all around an upgrade from the facotry, or is it not needed?

Hi Everyone- This is my first post over here, and I'm glad I found the place. Sorry my first post is a novel. I haven't been riding very long (not counting the Honda z50 I had when I was 4). The first bike I bought was a 2003 CRF450...lol...how's that for a beginner bike! What an idiot I...
