Out playing on the raid the other day and looked in on a friend who runs a bike shop and seen this  http://www.borderbikes.com/product_detail.php?id=413

Very tempted, was offered a fair price for the ttr as well.

Mmmmmmmmm ??????

Should I ???

Hi Kenny

Entirely depends on what you want to use your bike for. If you want to do enduros and be competitive then the Gas Gas is a contender but, for trail riding, the TTR scores highly - plus its easy to work on and get spares for wink

This model is a bit of a softroader, not as focused as their competition machines.

Six speed, water cooled, four valve single cam with screw and locknut tappets, 117 kg.,28hp and a carb.

Seat height's only 920mm as well  

Also two years warranty.

Had a wee test ride and it is a beautifully balanced bike.

I am very tempted...??

PS don't forget that I have a Raid and not an O/E TTR.

The raid engine has a lower compression and I would imagine a bit less power than an o/e.
