Thanks for all the replys, lots of good advice. Still looking for a bike but I have got a better idea of what I'm looking for now. Thanks.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I think I probably favor the idea of a beta and have not heard anything negative about them from anyone. Will keep the search going. b40rt I like your idea - sound thinking. Thanks

Ok, thanks for that. I'm 48 and not particularly fit but I do want to ride in competitions. I have no doubt I will fall off a few times and have lots to learn. I have not tried any bikes and any knowledge I have is based on what I have read and people I have spoke to. I'm not sure where to try a few different bikes so am trying to gather any info I can, that way hopefully I will make the right choice. I want to get a cheaper bike at first so it will probably be a older one.

Hi everyone, I'm Mike & I want to get into trials. I have had plenty of bike experience in the past but not ridden much in the last 10 years. I'm not very knowledgeable about modern trials bikes but from what I've seen I think I probably want a 200 - 250 engine and beta and gas gas seem to be the best makes. I have however seen a scorpa 250 with a rotax engine for sale and it seems to be good value for the price, are rotax good solid engines? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks
