I think you've made my mind up, an Oset. And then a Rev50 for Christmas if he gets into it. Only if he's a good boy though...

Jam, i'll come along and take a look thanks for the info. all the advice offered is gratefully recieved, the thing thats swinging me in favour of the Oset/TY80 is cost, from what i've seen ty80's/Oset's are 5/600 quid. Whereas Rev 50/GG50/Shercos are all over a grand. Unless anybody knows different!

Telecat, Cubby, thanks for the replies, he's ridden autos before but nothing with a clutch. I'm slightly worried about being in the same situation as Cubby where he'll want a "real" bike after a couple of months. However the Osets seem to hold there money well so not to much too lose there.

New on here just looking for a bit of advice please! I'm just looking to get my son, who's 7, involved in trials and the first hurdle is what to buy. The Osets seem like a great idea due to the low noise factor allowing him to practice in the garden. Are they a viable alternative to the TY80? With either of these options are there plenty of trials (Midlands Centre) that would accommodate either of these bikes? Or do i need to bite the bullet and spend money on a Rev50 or TXT Boy? You advice will be gratefully recived! Thanks
