i have been wanting to try trials for a while and i was wondering if a trials bike could handle being on a mx track? also would a some what newer 250 be good to start on?

No for long I'm afraid.

The engines are tuned for low down grunt rather than top end power and there is not enough suspension travel to cope with the repeated jumps and bumps of a mx track.

Why run a trials bike on an MX track anyway. You will ring the life out the bike as its not got a big radiator nor designed or setup to run on full throttle for long periods. The suspension would be terrible on a mx track.
