hricko Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hello, I am very interested into getting into the world of trials (and maybe observed trials competition). I am now a B Class Motocross racer looking for another motorcycle sport to attempt, and trials has very much intrigued me. I am looking to buy a motorcyle shortly (because fall seems to be the best time to buy a motorcycle). I have found several in my area, but are looking for some input. What size bike should I be looking for? I am 6' 1" and weigh 215 lbs without gear (athletic ) How much should I look to spend on a decent bike? I know what a MX bike would cost, but trials seems to be their own market by far. I am looking at a couple bikes here locally and they seemed to be priced more than KBB and way more than NADA. What would most people value a 2000 Gas Gas TXT 321?...KBB says $1900, NADA is $1000...I have no point to understand if I will be overpaying...any suggestions? Thanks!!!! I look forward to riding trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 IMO - The KBB price would represent a 2000 321 in very good to excellent condition. Would certainly have to be well maintained and run great with maybe a few scratches here and there. The NADA price is low and would represent a beater.

I look forward to riding trials. Check with Mike Komer at the Tryals Shop in Locke, NY. He has many good used bikes at fair prices that he backs up. Phone: (315) 497-3268 or check out his web page at www.tryalsshop.com. There are pics of a few of the bikes he has available in the used bike section.

laser1 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 There is a NETA 2-day trials in upstate NY this weekend. Im sure there would be a few bikes there that are for sale and available to ride. You could also meet many of the riders and watch some of the action. Better yet - join in and have some fun. (you can get a NETA day pass for $20) There is event info (directions), dealer and classifieds info here:NETA Website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
