Andy Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 We've been here before many, many times. You get the Gas Gas riders telling you to buy a Gasser You get the Beta riders telling you to buy a Beta You get the Montesa riders telling you to buy a Montesa (see where this is going yet?) The advice is always to try them all and see what suits you best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old trials fanatic Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Not probably what you want to hear but. Buy a twinshock. Majesty, Fantic 240 are good choices 1. you wont loose money. 2. you will develop your trials skills as the bike wont do it for you. 3. you wont hurt yourself on modern sections which are very daunting if you are new to trials. 4. you might even find the friendliness and cameraderie addictive and decide twinshocks are the ones for you If you dont then you can always sell the bike and get your money back or more then get a "modern" and watch it depreciate overnight. Only half joking about the last bit. Better go now before the lynch mob arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 try and have a ride on all the bikes and see which one you like best, each one has different aspects which people like about them and that is why they choose them, for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I would go for a Sherco 290 from 01 or if you can stretch your budget an 02. much better than a txt imho, can be updated easily to compare with a much later model, easy to work on, lots of spares interchangeable with later models, reliable and as he said, buy by condition, seek (for a good while) and you will find.
