malcolm Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 hello, my son just started trials riding at the start of this year and has been using a beta 80. Most of this time he has been riding C class at local club trials. He is 14 years old and weighs approx. 7-8 stone. He is keen to get a 125cc bike but I wondered if this is to much to soon. If he did ride a 125cc would he still be allowed to ride C class. Any thoughts or opinions welcome. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockie28 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 hi malcom. Yes he would still be aloud to ride c class on a 125cc bike. And the answer to your other quiestion is NO he's not too young to be riding 125 at all, it all depends on him ability to ride one at his age /weight ect ..... good luck to the lad thats what i say and i'll be watching out for him next year at the club trials.

garrym Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 I agree with Lockie. My 14 year old has been on a 125 for a year, and should have been sooner really. His riding will improve in no time on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john b Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hi there 14 years old is B class surely, irrespective of what bike is ridden ? In the year commencing January that they turn 13, then its B Class ? cheers John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy555 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 He would not be aloud to ride c class on a 125 he would have to ride B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jersey stew Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 My daughter whos 13 has just started on a Bw Beta rev 80. She gets on ok with it but it can be a bitch for her to kick sometimes. I have just bought myself a Gas Gas 125 txt pro to start on and she had a go on it but said she still prefered her "Bertie!!" However the gasser is much easier to start and is more refined I believe, quieter, smoother and generally feels like a better quality bike in my opinion. I'm not biased either way as I have never had a trials bike before, but I have had people say things like "that Beta is a nice tidy bike but I'd still have a gasgas anyday". Having riden them both I tend to agree. As for 80 or 125 I think there is very little difference as the 125 wont tear your arms off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
