benbeta23 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Hi, there are few to choose from, Beta Rev4/250/300 (avoid 2007 as they suffered from bad oil leaks) the 2008's are very nice to ride, Lovely power delivery. the 300 Rev4 in my opinion has a bit to much power. Beta Evo 4t/250/300 (2009-2011), Very reliable, The 300 is My favourite personally, Spot on to ride. Montesa 4rt, A very reliable Bike as it uses a Honda 250 4t motor, A bit to much on the heavy side though. Scorpa 250f. Don't know much about them as I've never ridden one, Yamaha motor though Sherco 320 4T, In my opinion a horrible bike to ride, Feels like your holding onto a jackhammer when riding it. It has to much unusable power. I think that's about it. Have a look around some trials, See if you can catch a go on some, I personally would reccomend a 2008 Beta Rev4 250, Or a Beta evo 4t 300, Both are excellent bikes.

bledd95 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Nope, you're not going to get any 4 stroke trials bike under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) so then iff i want a good cheap one it will have to be 2t then? Pretty much, if you want a good bike, you will have to pay for one, Have a look on ebay though, there might be something half decent for a good price. The old Rev3's are pretty good.

bledd95 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wheelies are down to the rider not the bike, all bikes you can wheelie. ohh rite, is it harder than doing a wheelie on a motocross bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Both make enough hp to wheelie. Keeping it up is technique and hence the rider! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Montesa 315 would be my choice(yr 2000 ish?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Montesa 315 would be my choice(yr 2000 ish?). I know some of the old rev 3's wern't very good, But I knew someone who had an 01 rev3 for a while & it was one of the best old running 2 strokes I had rode, Apart from the faults with the stators that they had, I think there a decent bike. Or as you say A 315 Montesa would be a good option as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm not out to start a flame war ..the Rev3 does ride well and the UK importer 'seems' to look after his customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
