AnthonyZ Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Is the Vertigo Vertical Combat 250 too much bike for a beginner trials rider? Novice dirt bike rider, 185 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Totally depends on how good your brake, clutch and throttle control is. At only 150 pounds and covered largely in plastic a modern trials bike is a very good beginner motorcycle, just as long as you stay in control of it and all of them have the potential to get out of hand if you don't retain control over the brakes, clutch and throttle at all times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyZ Posted October 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I would characterize my brake, throttle, and clutch control as "moderate" 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemur Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Super nice competitive motorcycle, one finger brake, one finger clutch, lively suspension, very low centre of gravity and plenty of power on tap. They eat a fair amount of fuel but very little oil, as with any fuel injected engine keep the fuel level high in the tank for better cooling of the expensive fuel pump. The rad fan makes enough noise to scare bears away 😎 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
