Gas Gas Pampero, talk to me.


One on ebay at the mo', I know chuff all about them! Heard they're quite small physically, i'm 5' 11" and 1st,  will it look like a pit bike under me??

Also, are they pre-mix or autolube? 

That is all, cheers, Jim.

1st is on the light side.  Maybe consider a KTM200EXC and a rucksack full of bricks.

It's a low bike with a reputation for being very capable and very unreliable. I'd chance my money on it's competition instead, can't remember the name of the bike but it was on here about a year ago.

Great to ride in technical trails type terrain, very light weight and feels lighter still by having a low seat height and ground clearance

the suspension is cheap and basic and will crap itself if you try to go fast, but it flatters its rider by being very easy to handle and tackle the kind of obstacles that might really worry you on a big four stroke

they are very lightly built and uses a lot of trials bike parts like an aluminium rear axle and wheels with no seals for the bearings, and can need a lot of fettling to keep in good shape, especially if used very often. personally i would say its a bike best suited for occasional events like trf fun days and LDTs, but if you greenlane every sunday on one expect it to need a lot of consumables.

it also doesn't like roads and is premix only with a range of approx 60miles including reserve

im 6 foot 4 and didn't feel silly riding my one, i enjoyed owning mine a lot but wasn't that sorry to see it go

they can be a bit ridiculously expensive for what they are, i suspect because of a strong demand for good bikes for long distance trails
