there are a few sites just search gp3 reverse. make sure what engine it has some are seling gp3's with a cag lump . whatever you do do not buy from funbikes. they are just a mail order company and in my experience know nothing about the bikes when it comes to warrantee and they denied all knowledge of the factory issues with them when mine died, even though they state issues on their site.
its up to you obviously but they wont answer emails or phone calls from me now i have a problem with mine

I know Tony has had his problems with Fun Bikes, but i got a comment from them stating that they have a few standard GP3 reps at the mo for £235 including delivery....so they would be in the same state as everyone else's who has a rep. You have to ring them though.
Other wise, as far as i know, there are only cag engined gp3 reps on the market at the moment.
If you decide to get one (from anywhere/anyone), make sure that you read the information in the 'factory problems/upgrades' page of the site, so you don't get caught out!

any reps will have their faults wherever you buy them thats just the way they are.any decent seller will prep you to any known faults of the rep bike they sell , the more complicated the rep engines are the weaker they seem to be. in my opinion.
an air cooled rep should be much less troublesome in theory and most with head mods or other bits will give allmost as much hp as a watercooled rep. if your using for fun you wont notice much difference in hp, less moving parts easier to repair less to break
again this is just my opinion.in preference i would now chose an air cooled over a liquid cooled anyday

minimoto south is our local dealer,there are about six gp3 reps which go to matchams,all have come from here and all still going strong.they strip and sort most of the problem areas before sale,hence the dearer price.a very friendly family company who also race,so lots of good info as well.
