ted poole Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I've decided to start riding trials again after a three year break, I road a 2005 GasGas 250 for a few years at very much beginner level. I have the opportunity to buy a very well looked after 2006 Beta 200 my only concern is that it may be a little underpowered for me, while I will still be riding as a novice I am 6' and 15 1/2 stone, is the 200 going to have enough mojo to pull me along? Thank you in anticipation, Ted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm sure others will be along shortly to say the same thing, but the 200 will not be underpowered for you. Don't think about the capacity, it's a trials bike which just needs riding, and a truly excellent one at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan williams Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 That and the 200s are very popular for resale if you do decide on a bigger bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted poole Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Once again tanks for the advice, I bought the 200 last night and I'm delighted with it, looking forward to our first trial together.
