Currently riding a 2019 MT-07 - Ice Fluo. However, I’m shopping around for a Africa Twin 2016 due to wanting to do a bit more off-road riding

    Upvote for a Gasgas that’s not a KTM in red :-)

      Lol. It’s a beastly little bike. I got no skills to back its ability, but it’s nice for practicing and hitting some trails.

        Yeah, the 280 would be too much for me, and I say that as a Cota 349 owner, lol

          I’ve never MX or anything technical really. Taken the GS and my old KLR on a few single tracks (easy ones) and some 4x4 trails. Haven’t ridden the 280 much, spending most my time just standing on it in the garage learning balance and practicing non-powered lifting and adjusting the bike using the shocks…

          I’m old and out of shape and sit to much. The trials bike has been so awesome and riding for 45 minutes is like spending an entire day working out.

            Yeah, proper hard off road is a full body workout!

              For sure. I was not prepared. Dumping the GS a few times on some 4x4 trails is rough but that trials bike is wild.

              The upside… even street riding either of my other two bikes, I can feel the difference that training on the trials has made. It is just flat out making me a better rider.

                Protip: try and find a Moto Gymkhana group in your area, that’s next next level for street riding! I use what I learned there every day

                  I’ve thought about that in the past.
