frenchy3 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hello all, i am not new to off road bikes but at the age of 56 i would like to buy a trials bike to hone my skills and possibly "wobble" around a local trial as i get competant. Any suggestions of a cheap £1000-£1500 as a starter bike. Thanks in advance. Steve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotors7 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I've never ridden one but always hankered after a Scorpa, the one with the Yamaha engine in it. They seem to be a solid dependable bike with reasonable manners ??? Plus the second hand value for a well looked after bike is a bonus. I reckon £1200 would get such a bike.... Ready to stand corrected of course !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Hi there and welcome. The old scorpas are fine but still buy on condition don't get too caught up in thinking a newer bike will be better because it doessn't really work that way . As I say don't buy anything rough it never works out. Happy hunting. Edited December 9, 2017 by breagh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanks Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hello frenchy3. Where are you based.? we're in the midlands. One of our club members has a very nice scorpa for sale. Around the £1000 mark. Wouldn't normally recommend a bike but I recently heard he had it for sale. He's an older generation rider and its been used for exactly what it was meant for, cleaned and maintained properly. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
