Gas Gas Pampera or XR 200?
Advice needed. I am back into trail riding after a 10 year break. I am a 5'5 female who has previously owned a range of bikes both MX and trail from 80cc to 250. I am looking for a bike that is light, has low seat height, low down torque and good suspension and the only 2 bikes that seem to fit are the Pampera 250 and XR200.All riding will be on rough overgrown trails and washed out gullies etc.maybe some dirt roads in between. Reasonable top end would be a bonus but low down is necessary. Pampera is not yet available here in Australia but due soon. Not interested in XR100 or TTR125. Can anyone advise me on the suitability of the Pampera versus the XR, eg. reliability, starting, ability, ride quality, etc.


Thanks in advance for any advice,

Ann

I personally would say the Pampera. Don't worry about reliability. It is realiable. Easy to start, very light. Has great bottom end and good top end as well because it has 6 gears.
I think suspension would be about the same on both.

You're getting some good responses to your post in the KTM forum, so I'm closing this one down.
