idc1873 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Il try here had no response from the other threads. Hello everyone, new to this forum. Havnt been on a trials bike for over 20yrs. Any advise on what cheap starter bike to go for. Seen this for sale a 350 Gas Gas, can anyone give any advise on it. Model/age/good/bad etc What are the late 80sTYs like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Bikes of that era are not popular at the moment. Late model bikes and Classic and Twinshock are popular and there are classes and events that cater for them. That Gas Gas would be much harder to ride than a modern bike and there is no separate class for that age bike. There is an air-cooled monoshock class in some places but it has not really taken off yet. There are better air-cooled monos than late 1980s Yamahas.

Any examples of which bikes to choose from, i have lost track of the trials scene with being away from it for so long.
