guido Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Greetings, I have the trials itch but no bike as yet with which to scratch it. I'm searching but they don't come cheap, or frequently for sale here in Utah. I have a line on a late model Scorpa SY 200 but I am having a really hard time justifying the cost of $4750. On the other end of the spectrum is an 18 year old Gas Gas 2 stoke that's affordable at l$1500 obo. In between is a '03 Sherco 290 that has an asking price of $3k. I guess I'll cool it 'till I can go to an local event and see what local riders have to say. Till then I'll practice throttle control with my KLX 250 (actually a 351). So, howdy from the hot dry west! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philrain Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi I'm selling a low hour 2011 Scorpa Sr280 for 5K, it's on ebay right now with 4 days to go. Could ship it to you for $200-$300, if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guido Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks for the head' up Phirain. I'll check it out. More than likely I'll hold off till I can get with the local crowd and see what somebody has stashed in their garage. There's a meet on August 18 that I'm going to attend. One fellow advised me to get a used two stroke in the mid 2k range because after all, he said, what you do with a trials bike is throw it at rocks.

copemech Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 That little Scorpa would be a nice piece at the right price, but ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guido Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 That little Scorpa would be a nice piece at the right price, but ! I know, but the price was wrong. I put up details in a post over on the Scorpa forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) There may be a Montesa '07 250 4RT that has come to market near here. It would be a good bike, yet not cheap. Better bang for the buck. I do not know specifics, yet PM me and i will forward you a # '03 290 Sherco, lots of power! Not at that price either unless it it is near new, and even at tht? You dont want the antique gasser! Edited July 14, 2012 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
