b6mfd Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Hi all, ever since i was a kid i wanted a trials bike, i used to love watching Kick start (if anyone remembers that?). Now im not a kid id like to get into trials, however the only bikes iv ridden are Honda Pedal and Pop, and a Honda CB100N road bike (used as a field bike, gypo style), so im inexperienced to say the least. I would like some help in know what to go for as a first bike, what engine size etc. Im going to have to try to keep the budget down incase i truely suck at it and end up breaking something. Any comments or suggestion would be much appreciated. oh and if iv posted in the wrong section, please let me know and i will try to move it.

pete_scorpa3 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Best advice is to go and have a look at a local trial to see what you like the look of. Where abouts are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tobeee Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you wander round long enough you'll meet a bloke from each camp! Best advice is to try one of each and see which feels best to YOU! They really all do feel differerent but are all as good as each other at most peoples' level of ability.
