thehaggis666 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Had road bikes before about 7-8 years ago supermoto etc never done trials before. Got in touch with my local club Essex and suffolk borders and going to see a trial end of the month. What's the best bike for a 6ft 3in 100kg rider? What's the best/most reliable bike to look out for? Don't want to spend thousands well not just yet! Maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 At that budget, one that goes will be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecat Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Early Beta REV3 2001 on would fall into your budget. Early 2000's Sherco would also do the job. If you can find a good 315R Montesa they are hard to beat. Built to take the knocks and still competitive in the right hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehaggis666 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ebay best place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehaggis666 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Does montesa have a Honda engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ebay best place? Not really no, a local club trial where you will meet genuine people with genuine bikes who will most probably tell you the truth about it. Does montesa have a Honda engine? I believe so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeneo290 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Hi just a note to say if you can stretch to £1,500 price range you will find there are some fairly decent bikes out there. I bought my 2007 290 sherco for that sort of money, i have used it nearly every weekend for past two years and have found it more capable for a novice like myself. I ride for Ipswich club so am also close for you , is it the trial on the 29th at raydon you are thinking of coming to? If so its a good venue for watching might see you there.
