The Beta REV50/80 is lighter than the Gas Gas 80 although the newer ones do seem to use a different frame so that may not apply. It also seems to be that Lampkins import more of them probably because the older Gassers were seen as unweildy for the Kids and it was the natural step for REV50 riders when they got big enough.
Thanks for that. How is the reliability of the 2 bikes???
Strange that I am posting on the forum from the mountains of Southern Spain, as I am from Calverley originally!!! Small world.
I am looking at getting a 2nd hand bike for my 9 year old son. He has grown up around bikes, and has had a 50cc trail bike, which we will now sell.
He is very keen on getting into trials riding, as we have a great scene here in Spain.
I was going to get him an 80cc Gas Gas, but they seem pretty hard to find 2nd-hand. It was suggested today, by a local trials guy, that we get him a 125cc bike so he can grow into it.
I have just registered and thought I would introduce myself.
Myself and my family live in the mountains of Andalucia, Southern Spain, and have done for over 10 years. I run a guided trail tour company (trail and enduro riding), and have recently been drawn towards trials riding (it was got me into motorbikes 30 years ago). I don't have a bike at present, but when funds permit, will take the plunge. I have a 9 year old son, who has had a 50cc trail bike, and is super keen in getting into trials riding, as there is a thriving competition scene here for both adults and children.
My first few posts will be regarding which bike to get him.
