hrmad Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I ride a 200 beta, you have to rev it more than the bigger bikes to get over things and use the gears differently. You can't go wrong with a 250. I've heard from a few sources Shercos are good from 2011 onwards. Can't really go wrong with a beta either, avoid the first years of a line of models though. All the modern bikes are pretty good, you'll have to try out a few different ones to find out what suits you. The Montesa 4rt and the old school 315r bikes get good reports. Though the 4rt doesn't suit everybody. Edited January 12, 2015 by hrmad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsy Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi, I have a motocross back ground and after a long gap from off road to road riding bought myself a 2004 290 sherco. Didn't really know much about trials bikes so didn't know a bad bike from a good one. As it happens had that bike for eight years and can honestly say it was a very reliable bike with a bullet proof engine. Sold it recently and bought another sherco. I guess all trials bikes will have some faults so when buying second hand it can be a bit of a lottery. As the power delivery goes I found it ok, and it wasn't intimidating (fitting slow action throttle helped) but I can only really speak from my experiance. Hope this helps.
