Fantic casa 250


For the last 12 months or so I hav been looking at different bikes to suit me after trying and looking at various 2T & 4t bikes I came up with the Fantic at £4600 on the road I thought mm a bit cheap for a bike of this type but having had a close look at one I decided to purchase it . I went out on Sunday to put it through its paces with a full on 100 mile ride with six others to be totally honest I was more than happy with the way the bike handled . On the road quite happy to plod along in sixth gear with loads of low down torque from third onwards .in the lanes in the more nadgery stuff 1 st  and 2 nd gives plenty of power and for the longer lanes quite happy to pull from third up , a light bike to ride and slitely lower which suites my little legs. it has nice soft suspension  which gives good comfort for the faster rocky stuff, comes with a key start , indicators, choke on the handle bars no faffing under the tank . And at a guess  looks good on fuel I would say about 80 ish to a tank . All in all I am well pleased .

Had a look at these last year. But ended up keeping the ttr a bit longer. If you look on Haines motorcycles website at second hand / sold bikes. They have their old demo bike with a couple of modifications on.

Sold it to a mate Rich , to be fare it was a nice bike to ride , but  just a bit flat on the power side and I like the feeling of the front end that you get from the newer front forks

There are not many new Bikes  made, aimed at trail riding and not Enduro ,
