opdeweegh1 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Marty. I have a 2006 sherco 50 kid " Rev and go " for sale on ebay just now. Just the right size for 5-10 year olds to start on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoyo Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I've just bought two TY80's for my two lads. I looked at the pro's of con's of differing machines and everything pointed to the TY's as they are cheap to buy - around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 There's a nice Beta 50 in the TC classifieds - Ok - it's mine If I weren't selling one I'd say you can't go wrong with the little Beta 50, but I can't now can I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 They can all be tempermental when starting but the Beta tends to be the best followed by the Gas Gas. Seen a few Clipic Auto's about as well and they are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts every time first kick (and he can kick start it too), super reliable and ideal to get into balancing, gear selection and braking. I have a very tired TY80 in the shed which I'm slowly rebuilding (looking for a good crank/rod or engine for it). I hope to get him on the TY next year. He's really too small a the mo' to start youth trials, the LT & CRF are ideal to get them started out IMHO and then get a pukka trials iron if they show an interest.
