Best Price?

With so many trials dealers out there prices are going to vary a lot. I saw a post the other day, with a link to a video on youtube, where a guy said he paid

Never really chased prices for Trials bikes, always used BVM as they are relaible, quite close and will always help whatever the problem. Couple of places are abit cheaper but once you ve driven 300 odd miles to get it and drove back the difference does nt seem that much anymore. Plus if you have a problem that only the dealer can sort out, you ve got to go back up there loads of times. Personally I would only use an established dealer to buy a bike as you know they will be there in years to come over a bargain shop who may fold up 3 months down the road and cant sort a problem out.

Few years ago quite a few people went over to Spain to buy the bikes as the difference was quite big, resale price was poor though plus if you had to register it as well all the VAT had to be paid for. Never went that route even though it was tempting price wise, imagine if you had gone to all that trouble and the gearbox dropped out 2 months down the road

Too right.

Although at one time you could save

Trawling round the dealers seems that they have a difficult time selling on second hand stock. There seems to be a "trough" between

i think that the websites that are out there could be better and more upto date. Most of them are showing bikes from last year, someone looking to buy a new bike can't see what sort of price they are supposed to be paying. With stories of people payin

E mail them all mate, just copy and paste and they will let you know so you can compare. Most sites are not very good with prices, dont like to show their hand to early I think.

I bought a 250 pro from shirty 2 years ago, an 04. At the time the 05 bike had been issued and I presume they were keen to shift their older stock. Me and my mate got together and bought one each for
