How big are you (height, weight)? Do you have any experience one enduro bikes and trail riding or is all of your experience on trials bikes and courses?

You may also want to look at the GasGas EC200 as it's a nice compromise between the 125 and 250.
 
First off, welcome to the world of enduro. Trials riders are a pretty tight bunch, I'm sure you'll find that the Gas Gas enduro riders are equally friendly.

I think I've made my feelings on the 200 perfectly clear in other posts. It's a perfect compromise between 250 power and 125 control. In my opinion, it has "just enough" power to get you through the tough stuff but not too much to get you into trouble. Of course if you are over 6' or 200 lbs, the 250 or 300 are probably better bikes for you.

If you've been riding trials, theres a rule of thumb with trials bikes... buy the bike you're going to ride right off the bat, regardless of age or skill level as long as the bike fits you. You get used to the power delivery and feeling the bike has. I've seen 12 year old trials riders who ride 280's and 40 year old riders who ride 200's.

We'll assume you're under 6' and 200 lbs, pick the bike to suit your riding style. Tight and technical, go for the 200. Open and flat, go for the 250 and if you ride a mix of both... go for the 300. I wouldn't worry about a 125 unless you want to race a certain class that is restricted by engine size.

Regardless of which you choose, you'll love any of the sizes Gas Gas has to offer. Keep in mind, all the frames except the 125 (smaller) and 450 (narrower) are identical. The only real difference between the 200, 250 and 300 is engine cc's.
 
im 6ft 1" and 10 stone. i have really no experiance riding enduros or enduro bikes. my dad has all the enduro riding experiance, and he still takes the enduro line through some of the sections which is why i always beat him haha :D.

i never considered the 200, cheers ill have another look into it

cheers
