Fantic 250 Casa

Post by Gregor »

I wasn’t aware of these until recently, info seems a bit sparse on long term ownership.

Visited a couple of local dealers but none in shop to look at and don’t fancy buying blind, the spec seems ok, adjustable suspension,120ish kg, 6 speed, 28hp 4 stroke engine, on paper it looks like an ideal greenlaner.

Wondered if anyone knows any more about them, first hand or tried one?

The look is a bit tart’s handbag but I’ve got past that now.

250 4T singles are capable, but a bit dull.

I was surprised to see 2 stroke in the showroom, road legal Rieju 300 Ranger didn’t think they were still being made.

A bit above my budget at 7 grand.
