well I will hopefully be moving up to a beta 200 xmas new year time [as this tends to be the best time to buy ] I have a gas gas txt pro 125 pro had it nearly a year and intend keeping it as my wife purchased it for me after my heart surgery . I wont go above the engine size I have thought about a 250 but having ridden a 200 I doubt you could or to be honest can you get a 250 to replicate its mild manner my 125 is aggressive on the throttle compared to a beta 200 . but the million dollar question why are they so expensive compared to there bigger engine brothers or maybe I am answering my own question. even a spares or repair is a grand.mind you after after a couple of hours of riding not only did it behave brilliantly it was like riding on a diesel engine bike without any worry I was not in control going to flip it hurt myself damage the bike etc or worried about stalling it. beta rev 200 it has to be my next bike without a doubt and last they are that good .

I would wait till you get the all clear from your doctors that your sternum has healed then the rest is up to you and the pace at which you go at it. keeping taking the meds and as your only 4 weeks post op don't worry about any niggly pains etc if your worried consult your doctor cardio nurse etc but most of the aches will be down to the healing of muscle tendons nerves etc . it will be worrying early on the dreams will subside pain etc and do your physio get out walking and before you know it you will be back on your bike. I don't know what weight a ty is but even my gassa 125 weighed a ton when first learning to ride just took my time and built my strength up. you have had bypass which requires surgery to remove veins from your legs [which I didn't] so I can not comment on that . but don't worry you will be back on the pegs in min of 6 months I did it and had never ridden a bike and the best thing I did if you can afford to treat your self look to get a 2nd hand modern or borrow a 125 to get you back going again as like I said I can not comment on your ty 175 weight wise compared to my 125 and handling and all that only you know having more experience than me or but for me the point was to enjoy something new learn something new and above all do it in a safe and correct manner without being a liability to others and being considerate .

and you will get backache even 9 months after surgery feels a bit cramp but worse but don't forget they cut through a lot to get to your heart clamp your chest open and put your arms in an unnatural position for about 5 hours. how long ago was your surgery it takes 8 weeks for the breastbone to settle down I couldn't walk the dog till after 8 weeks or drive .thing is do what the doctors tell you complete your physio and above all carry on taking your medication and you will be back riding no worries. you will get post opp aches and pains as everything heals back together I can not comment on the leg wounds as I had valve surgery so Hilary is the best to answer any queries on that avoid when riding as I found out to my cost riding on a meal give yourself at least an hour unless your want severe motion sickness. anything else you want to know ask away but how long ago was your surgery etc were do you live etc what meds are you taking would be a big help. ??

had open heart surgery last year for a dodgy mitral valve I had never ridden a trial bike and fancied doing it went to inch perfect trials for a experience day and as they say the rest is history. the wife bought me a gassa 125 as a treat but now looking to upgrade to a bigger bike after xmas or later fell off a few times but just got back on. did a story for the british heart foundation which is on line and your welcome to read it . the only thing that will stop you riding my friend is yourself .just beaware that I assume like me you are now taking warfarin or its equivelant if so armour up or pad up round the knees elbows etc. PS were are you from which country are you in the uk I would avoid big rocks due to brusing but just get your confidence back and your strength I went trialing 6 month post op and was knackered but fell in love with it. if your in the northwest of England I will gladly meet up with you for a chat or ride [be warned I aint good] or if your worried about anything you can always PMin regards to your surgery recovery rate down dated aches and pains as what you have been through is and I can not emphasis this enough very traumatic. but you should not will not have to sell your bikes just tailor your trailing to your condition .I am back at work and trialing as well

I know they have sold a few of the EM clubman and sportsman at inch perfect trials but as I have never ridden either bike could someone please educate me on the difference. I do know that the owner who has one for his experience days says its very popular and in great demand.

the million dollar question is if everybody is in debt to everybody else and vice versa who the the hell isn't in debt in the first place its like a10+1 people all in a line all owing each other a tenner but the + 1 only has £2 so we start with him lend him £8 but in reality we only give him 10 pence the rest goes back to the other 9 people [the banks] and the vicious circle carrys on except next time we lend him 8 quid we take £7.90pence back plus his fcking telly couch and fridge[nationalised industries]. and so we carry on till we reach a point that joe muggins is sat in an empty house with SFA left to sell still wanting his £ 8 quid wigan take on financial ruin

a bloke went to the doctors with a big frog growing out the side of his head the doctor went OMG how the hell did that start off . and the frog replied as a boil on my fecking ar$e

best of all while cutting money of to the Greek banksthe IMF European banking system they then go and lend money to Bulgaria money to a non EU MEMBER work that out and bordering on illegal.

and just think if it wasn't what for a rogue asteroid they would still be bleeding here.

I only use Greece as an example as its on a whole a European wide problem with maybe them being a catalyst to future events across other European countries who find themselves in the same mess scenario .? and it is not the majority who got Greece in this mess in the first place but its the majority through austerity who have the most to lose through its implementation .

the problem is the trillions borrowed and owed around the world on dodgy Ponzi schemes keeping interest rates artificially at low rates as they can hardly pay the interest on the toxic loans as the banks have lost trillions as well and have and continue to be caught out acting unethicaly been caught out on countless occasions selling add ons paying billions in fines. of course its joe muggins the public who catches the brunt of austerity measures.

I know that Greek government has had a lot of support in regards to its stance on the measures maybe a bit of bum twitching across Europe in light of public anger but my attention switches more towards spain and Italy who also have suffered under austerity and any knock on effect this may have in light of tonights which seems like a resounding no vote . the fact the country received 240billion in bail out money in 4 years but less then 10% actually went to the greek economy with the rest going to European banks and a 40% unemployement rate and predictided austerity till 2030!!!! beggars belief. what has austerity actually achieved.???

in light of early indications looks like the masses have said enough is enough to austerity . and who can blame them in all honesty early predications looks like a big majority for the no vote but what knock on effect will this have across the rest of Europe with other countrys struggling with austerity measures namely Italy Spain Ireland AND france whos leader was voted in on an anti austerity ticket. a few interesting weeks lie ahead.

as a newcomer at the ripe old age of 52 I would say costs bike gear fuel places to ride but trialing is not alone in dwindling numbers as is the case with football rugby cycling running angling especially the match variety. thing is your competing against playstation xbox and this kind of entertainment kids these days and quite a few adults I might add are quite happy to spend there entire free time in front of a 40 telly playing the latest call of duty against there online friends and enemys screaming abuse down a mic and teabagging each other.[a online ritual were one online player pretends to drop his ballbag on a equally fat spotty fool he has just shot in an online game while taunting him] yip online computer gamming the death nell to true enjoyment.

and guess what will happen next poxy daily newspaper exclusive stealth bikes menace WORLD EXCLUSIVE I can just picture it see it now . now I was out walking fido when a group of ruffians sped pass me on there electric trials MX enduro bikes I tell you now I swear on my mothers eyes I never heard um saw um coming gave me the fright of my life and poor fido has never been the same since we are too terrified to too go out I am on to my local MP plod ASAP to sort this out straight away. more to the point what is the law regarding electric bikes etc on the highway common ground ??

the electric V petrol argument is irrelevant I am all for electric bikes but as soon as they become more popular rest assured some git will complain that about them doing as much damage to the environment or having the same impact as standard trial bikes I totally agree electric bikes have a future but don't think they are the be all and end all to certain peoples prejudices to off road biking because they are not and never will be. they are an excellent bike from what I have seen and are for the vast majority of riders a viable alternative .but in the 2nd market they are not available in the volumes as are there petrol equivevlant at this present time due to limited production especially in regards to an adult bike. and to be brutally honest I can not afford to purchase a new petrol bike let alone a new electric bike. even though theres not much between them if on the other hand a 2nd EM motion was for sale in my budget range and peoples budgets vary I would consider it not because I am put off by the tech but by its 2nd hand availability . and please don't fall into the trap of deluding yourself that because I have an electric trial motor cross bike etc I have willy wonkas golden ticket you don't its just easier for lobbyists do gooders etc to devide and conquers each group individually like what happened with fieldsports.

we certainly don't want to fall into the trap that the hunting fishing groups did thinking that because they deemed there hobby was in there opinion had less impact that they were safe . fact is if it be electric petrol trials bikes motor cross or endure they will try to impose some kinds of restrictions on it it. if its emissons and you switch to electric bikes then what your damaging the environment disturbing wildlife impacts on the local fauna and flaura upsetting the locals noise pollution etc etc etc. believe it or not there are people out there who sole purpose in life is to make everybody else as mundane sh!te and make the rest of us as big as miserable bstrds as them.

as you live in Stafford do you not know anyone who owns a bike or a club near you whos members .are willing to let you try out a bike or try some were like inch perfect trials were you can hire a bike for half a day or full day at the fraction of the cost and see if you like it. that way saves you forking out for a bike you may ride very rarely as you also have to bear in mind were are you going to ride it [legally I mean]. we are pretty fortunate in the northwest as there is quite a few places we can go to but they are all things worth thinking about before buying a bike.

hello and welcome I would try and get hold of a beta rev or evo 200 brilliant bike and much sought after. was lucky enough to have a go on a rev 200 for a few hours and what a bike a real eye opener. were is your location which country are you from etc.

wouldn't read to much in to the appearance of the back pipe more than likely a prototype or modded exhaust production exhausts from companys like bosal etc are really mass produced and I should know I worked as a welder for a short time on them as a stop gap in the early 80,s couple of months production welding and making them. I have know doubt and wish the company all the success in there bike especially in these difficult times which know doubt judging by the bikes performance so far they will achieve it and believe me it will come with the min number of welded seams on the final production model .

vast majority of car bike ship locomotive manufactures bring in components from other suppliers also I assume as we do with locomotives rolling stock etc we are able to source identical parts from a variety of suppliers this stops inflated prices and tends in most circumstances tends to guarantee the quality of the parts this goes for electrical and mechanical components bolts nuts etc and anything else in between.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN7p2XOm16U if only they made trials bike as reliable as this after sat in garage a few months.!!! could do with a little less 2 stroke oil though. that's the ruskies for you though .

I pointed out I could see no problem with gas gas bikes or parts being made in china or any were else for that matter I also stated that china rightly or wrongly was holder of the locomotive speed record .now for the record I do work on the railway and there is conflicting views that china is leading the way in railway tech I am not about to start cutting and pasting articles to prove or disprove a point. the fact is do I care were I get my gas gas parts from no china india etc it does not matter it matters that I am still able to get them period.

well dan williams I can not fault you for a an honest and truth full reply you have my respect sir . and like I said its irrelevant who produces the next gass gas and its parts as long as they continue to do so that's the important part.
