doubleclutch Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I was into trials rideing when I was a teenager and got out of it and have been rideing street bikes ever sence. I have a small repair shop and have been wanting to get back into trials rideing. I have been looking around and found a yamaha ct175 for a cheep price. Right know im just looking to get back into it for cheap and was wondering if this would be a good bike to convert in a trials? Any info would be great!

Any info would be great! God, I cannot even recall what a "ct" really is? Probably not worth converting though. Dependind upon where you are located, probably some Yamaha TY's or pinkies to be had at a good price! Best advice, find a real bike I think! Enjoy!

doubleclutch Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 The CT is an enduro type bike. I live in Western Pennsylvaina and there is not many trials riders are races around here. I know of about 3 trials compatitions that take place. I am a member of Ohio Vally BSA owners Club and they have 2 race's a year so I am looking a bike to run in the vintage class and I don't have alot of money to spend. Any of you got some info let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Do you mean a CT3 or CT2 (as in a 175cc Yamaha trail bike from the early 1970s)? If you do, they would be quite difficult to convert to a trials bike, and the cost of conversion would probably put the eventual cost of the bike well above the cost of buying a cheap trials bike. If you can buy the CT3 for a low price, you could probably on-sell it to a collector for a decent price and make some money. They would be much rarer than a TY175 and probably quite collectable, depending on how complete it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
