Gas Gas PAMPERA 250 Motorcycle reviews

Best bike I've ever owned. The suspension worked flawlessly. It soaked up whoops and roots with no sharp spikes to the handle bars. I could double some of the whoops. This bike weighs about 20lbs (guess) less than my '01 and it feels it while riding. The handling is the same as my '01 which means surgical precision. Had to swap the front pads half way thru the ride. The metal pads had too much of a on-off feel. Just my personal preferance. Power suits my riding style perfectly-snaps out of corners like a bullet. If the power falls off, a quick blip of the clutch and throttle picks it back up. Motor is buttery smooth, trans shifting is just the same. Motor almost has no vibrations while riding, my '01 buzzed the pegs. Longer kick starter is very nice, easier to kick over. Show less

I'm just getting back into biking after an 18 year layoff. I wanted dual sport but something really trail worthy. The Pampera 250 was a pleasant surprise. The bike is extremely light weight, is low enough for me to touch both feet to the ground (5'6") and has awesome low and midrange power and torque. The forks are a bit lightly sprung, but for moderate speeds over moderate terrain they work well. You have to run pre-mix too, no oil injection system on the Gas Gas. Show less

Durable, I give it only 4 stars though, but its a good bike! Show less
