Message: [QUOTE="MCNut, post: 253609, member: 26372"] Gospeedracer, Gas Gas has been building the Pampera in one form or another for about 6 or 7 years now. The bike has been imported in limited numbers and till now has appealed to fairly eclectic group of riders. For 2002 Gas Gas made some changes that have resulted in broadening the appeal of the Pampera to a wider range of riders. I have weighed my 02 P280 and 99 P320 and both weigh under 200 lbs ready to ride without gas! This is without mirrors, turn signals and having removed the passenger foot pegs. Older models had a battery that I removed. The motors are in a very mild state of tune, breathing through a tiny 26mm carburetor, which results great torque and exceptional gas mileage. My girlfriend uses hers for easy duel sporting which yields a usable range of 100 two-track and road miles. She rode 109 miles w/o hitting reserve on one ride. I think 80 trail miles are possible if you use a little wrist restraint. Spanish built motorcycles have come a long way but I would be the first to suggest that they are not for everyone. As you noted the price for one of these gems is very reasonable! Bruce :cool: [/QUOTE]
