as a newbie I thought some-one could clue me up on this..
Are some trials bikes road legal (those with headlights and V5?)
What is the benefit of a road legal trials bike?
What would you look for as a beginner - I guess you pay more for a road legal bike?
If buying a non road legal bike how do you check the seller is the owner!
Yes to your first question, no need for a headlight though - do a search for 'day light Mot' on these forums.
Benefits include: -
1) being able to ride trials that have some road work included
2) easier to insure a bike when it has been registered with the DVLA
I wouldn't pay any more for a road registered bike if I was buying second hand, nice if it's already been done though.
Ask the current owner for a receipt if they bought it new and/or check the frame and engine numbers with the UK importer...
