Anybody had any experience of the above brands?

They all seem to make enduro bikes that look good (especially the TM) but I'm suspect that they might be unreliable, not as well made as some of the more known brands and difficult to source parts for?

mate of mine has a gas gas pampera.

parts availability is okay, build quality is shite, e.g lacquer coming off the panels, chain made of cheese...

TM: Very heavy Sad and really expensive on bits one of the boys in our club has just got rid of his for that reason It fell to bits Crying or Very sad

Gassers: 3 riders in our club have em 2 have the EC250 and the other has an EC300. Any parts available with next day delivery through Gasgas UK and nowhere near as expensive on bits as some of the other makes. I've had a 99 EC250 for 2 yrs and apart from routine maintainence i've only had to replace the usual bits you would on any machine and i rag the arse off it 2 days a week every week Wink The Pampera isn't really a true out n out dirt bike, different carb, suspention and a lot less HP

Best of luck with whatever you settle on Smile

I've got a TM and a Gas Gas.

The TM is in a different league to most dirt/supermoto bikes available from the factory.
The two strokes FLY and the newer 4T's are awesome...just look at this years ISDE results for the bikes...and then realise that they are standard compared to the factory entries from other factories.

The Gas Gas is possibly the best all budget enduro machine available and parts and service are really good. Use people like John Shirt Jnr at Gas Gas UK or Dave at BikeTech in Trowbridge.
