Well I ended up getting his dads, 2003 rev3, just had all bearings replaced and a little controller for the fan, had a little go and everything seems fine, totally standard apart from him putting grease nipples on the hubs and other bearings, I'll get some pics up later

Just got a text so say he has sold it, I had arranged to go, he said his dads got a rev3 270cc for the same money so I'm gunna have a look at that but I did fancy the other one, nevermind

Here's the link, I know you can't tell much by pictures but you get the idea http://m.gumtree.com/beta-rev-3-250cc-trials-bike-2004/v?adId=89546853

I'm going to see it tomorrow, do I just need to make sure it revs cleanly, are there any giveaways when the stators on it's way out? Also where do I look to see if the water pumps leaking? Would I be better off with a sherco? Cheers James

Thanks for the reply, is there anything else I should look for? Cheers James

Forgot to mention, it's road reg and just had new pads, fork seals, wheel bearings and swingarm bearings

Iv got an r1 for on the road but always fancied another trials bike, iv got about

No offence taken lol, it might be to much for me, I'm not sure what to get yet, do you live near sedgefield? Where do you ride?

Yes I think it is at sedgefield, I havnt been through, just looked at the ad, I'm pretty sure I'd be ok with it, Iv rode bikes for 15 years and I think iv got pretty good throttle control, i might be totally wrong, once my r1 is sold ill go up and have a look at it, has he got many bikes on stock?

Heres a link to the one I'm looking at http://autotrader.mobi/used-bikes/advert/201128401719651/viewing-1?PHPSESSID=0mta2qt3rbj59l98g8fg6qhms6

What do you mean by a classic sherco?

It's black, red and yellow, black frame, it's up for 2k, does that seem about right?

I'm looking to get a trials bike and one of these has just came up for sale near menand It looks lovely, are they a good bike and do these models have the switchable engine maps? Is it just a gimmick, cheers in advance

Thanks for the info, iv gone through alot of previous posts to get a just of things, looking forward to getting one now, I'll also be able to go play with my 5yr old on his motocross bike, gonna look to get him a trials bike to replace it to

Hi im james, im 25 and live in middlesbrough, i currently have an r1 roadbike but can't have fun on the roads anymore, I was at silverstone for the gp a few weeks ago and had a play on a new montesa 4rt, I used to have a trials bike when I was younger and iv got the bug again, I fancy a sherco but I'm just gonna see what comes up, I live in teeside so I'm hoping to ride at Darlington or charltons, is there anyone who rides at these places because I wouldn't really want to practice on my own, any tips or advice would be much appreciated, cheers in advance
