Unfortunately my current enduro technique is to attack everythinf at speed. Think I may need to learn a bit more control

Well the 290 I went to see, didn't pan out. To expensive, and a tad tatty, so i left it there. Luckily one came up on fleabay last night, which was a bit older but the bike is mint (ish) how do people keep their bikes like that? Anyway i am now the proud owner of an 2003 Sherco 290 Went out for a quick blast when I got it home, and it was a lot harder than I expected it to be. Fun though. Anyway thanks for the comments

Cheers guys Thanks for the prompt replies

Hi i have benn looking for a trials bike for some time. my bike of choice would be a Sherco, simply because I like the way they look. A tidy 290 has just come up for sale locally, would this bike be to much of a handfull for me. I have been riding enduro and H&H for quite a while, and in those diciplines I always found the bigger bikes easier and more forgiving. Is this the case with a trials bike, or should i look for something smaller. By more forgiving I mean you could be lazyier with the gears and let the engine do more work. Sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find anything after doing a search.

Thanks for the help guys, shall go and have a look and keep you updated

Hi I have been looking for a bike to start trials but nothing much has come up in S,Wales. Ther is a 1999 GG250 which has just surfaced. It is 6 speed with hydraulic clutch. Are there any issues with the older bikes I should be aware of, or should I just wait for a newer model to come along? Thanks

Tanks as i said I had done a search and read those and other threads. My question was based on my enduro backround. In that sport KTM are regarded as the dogs danglies, though I personlly don't believe there is anything between the major companies and that it is pretty much a fashion thing. because of this KTM spares are very easy to come by and when it does come time to sell up it will fly out the door at maximum price. Whereas the Sherco I had was difficult to sell and i had to take a loss on it. So basically what i am saying is this makes the KTM a better bike. Is it the same with Montesa? but as you said £400 is lots of money to me

Sorry Mr Tetchy but as you can see this is only mt 5th post. I had done a search, and there are lots of which bike queries. Unfortunately they didn't answer my question which is Are Montesas worth the extra cash. Sorry for being a dumb a***

Hope this is in the right section, as I didn't want to post it in a specific make forum Anyway,here goes I am about to buy my first trials bike .After riding enduro's for quite a while i feel it is time for a change. i have bben looking at bikes around the

Cheers thanks for the advice

Think your wrong there as it's exactly what I need

Well another newbie here.know nothing about trials, but always facied giving it a go. Been riding dirt bikes forever, doing enduros, H&H and the odd rally.Anyway decided it was time for something a bit slower and less expensive.Don't even have a bike as yet, but hopefully that will be remedied soon. So let the fun begin
