piruleiro Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 hello, a question from a "newbie" from Italy... I've got a Beta ALP 200 4T, I use it in medium range tours on the mountains around my house (in tuscany). Sometime I find too hard obstacles so I would like to change the ALP with something closer to a trial bike... Anyway, I still need to use it also on street transferts, for some kilometers (it's easy to do it with the ALP 4T, which is not a real trial bike...) Scorpa TY 125 or 175 has a seat, and it can be street legal, is it a good choice for me? I also considerd the new Montesa Cota (with the seat+bigger tank kit), but it's a bit too expensive for me... m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwilson Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Piruleiro, The Scorpa is great. You might also think about a used 98 Alp with the 2T engine, it makes a great trials/trail bike. Ciao Doug Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchph998 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Salve Piruleiro I have a GasGas Pampera which is another option for you,they have just stopped makeing them so you might find one for a good price.They are a great trail bike based on the 250 TXT motor so it responds like a trials bike on technical trails,but maybe more comfortable than a trials bike for the road.Ciao H www.gasgasitalia.it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piruleiro Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 thanks very much for the replies. I know, ALP 2T is a nice bike for the usage I like, but it's rather difficult to find it. Pampera is very good too, but it's too similar to the ALP 4T. So, I decide to look for a new Scorpa TY 125 (or 175 if I'll get the extra money)... as I said, I'll mostly use it on "pseudo-trial" mountain paths, but I need to reach them after few kilometers of road, so, just a...stupid question for trial forum: what's the speed of the Scorpa on road? With my ALP 4T (mounting the Z12 sprocket), I can ride at, more or less, 85 Km/h (actually 90, but vibrations are incredible) I am sure Scorpa is much slower and, of course, I am ready to accept it, but how much? and what about the support for the ID plate? must I remove it every time I'll be off-road? Last point, someone suggested me the new Yamaha tricker XG 250... But I think it's too heavy (118 kg.) and, all in all, it looks like a trendy bike with a trial look. am I right? thank you for your attention, and sorry for my rather OT questions... m.
