newtothis Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have seen a scorpa ty 125 f and was wondering if anyone could advise me on a couple of things. I have a sherco 250 2003 model and my son has become interested in trials, he is only 13 which gives me a dilema. Can anyone tell me if this bike would be suitable fo him, also it appears to hav a small seat and i am not sure if this bike is a trials bike. Soz for silly questions as i am only new t sport and some what niave. Cheers Brett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasthermo Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) he can only ride a 125 at any events Some club may allow a 250 but i doubt it. the scorpa would be fine 4 him to ride it would be a bit heavey to begin with tho and the little seat "thing" dosent matter look at the old bikes.

andy m Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have one, I am around 14.5 stone and 43 yrs old and have come across others and they all say you cant fault them. Very low maintenance etc, soft power delivery etc. Is it one of the ones advertised on here recently, what year/ price?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johns Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Loris Gubian won the European 125cc Championship on one... is that good enough for you? http://www.todotrial.com/ttactual/pruebas/...sy125f-kits.htm For sure he's talented, but it proves that the bike can be very capable. After all it was developed by some talented guys including Mick Andrews... see: http://www.todotrial.com/ttactual/competic...sdt2003dia4.htm [i have the 163 and had the 125 before that] JohnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warby beta Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 You'll never go wrong with the baby 4popper my sister has one and i ride it alot being a large bloke used to a 250 rev 3 it aint all that under powered. Maintenance wise clean air filter check and change engine oil reasonably regular. Ace wee bike when i did B class they moved to 125's but i went to A but nearly bought one. Would reccomend to anyone Good luck and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
