davidni Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Out of curiousity does anyone know what bhp trials bikes are these days. I am upgrading soon to a 2002 beta rev 3 250 and I would like to know if there will be a big power increase.

toofasttim Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Sorry mate you're out by about 20hp. Try 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandellear Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Yer i have always wondered that! Does any one know what kind of power a gasgas 03 125 puts out? Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers for now sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyt Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Where the hell do you get 35BHP from? A Beta 250 stock runs around 20>21 BHP. BillyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yes , I'd hve to agree ! The advertised HP. For my trusty 240 fantic when new was 18 hp and 23.54 Nm of torque at 5500 rpm . and my 212 cc fantic has more hauvo's than any ty 250 I've ever riden !! IMHO !

copemech Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 The 125 should make around 10-12 I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabnabit Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Where the hell do you get 35BHP from? 320 kit, alcohol and a spray of nitrous oxide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidni Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Oopsies I fired it into google and thats what came up but either way i now know that there is a big power difference in a 250 beta and my yamaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidni Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Well forgetting my silly mistake regarding the bikes bhp is it a good idea me upgrading to the 250 beta. I have been riding on the old 250 yamaha for about two years now and I am only 17 and wiegh 10 and a half stone. I'm just wanting a more powerful bike that is also better handling than the one I have. I was also looking at a scorpa sy125f but was put off by the 125 cc allthough if anyone can sway me back towards wanting it go ahead and try me Edited July 21, 2006 by davidNI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Although i`ve never personally rode one I have heard a lot of good things about the Beta rev 3 200cc may be a good stepping stone for you and I can pretty much garuantee a Rev 3 will progress your riding so much! just an amazing bike! I have an 04 250 but weigh enough more than you for it too make a differnce! Just my thoughts on this `un i`m sure there will be lots of gasser owners that disagree! Oh and I wouldn`t go for the Scorpa personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidni Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the advice I have an add in the paper and have got a couple of phone calls in for those 200 rev 3s actually but they were from the year 2000 is that any good?Also what are your thoughts on a 1999 gasgas txt 250 for only Edited July 21, 2006 by davidNI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 depends on your budget mate but personally from what you`ve said hold out for the beta 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidni Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah the beta's definately sound good to me. From what I have gathered gasgas's are good to ride but ull constantly be buying parts for them Would you say thats true? Sorry for all the questions here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 As i`ve never owned a gasser either I couldn`t comment on experiance just from what i`ve heard from friends and yes the gasser is lighter and possibley better for the trick rider but the Beta IMHO is easier too look after ( and beleive me I abuse mine!!!!) and i`m told they track far better prob that extra weight and the lack of linkage just keeps it that bit more settled Best advice I could give though is go try one!

the addict Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 David, the 98-99 Gassers are good bikes, mate of mine has a 98 250 and it still rides really well, if you go this route make sure it revs out cleanly, no nasty noises and allow for changing all the suspension bearings.
