China also has many of these for sale. Yamaha tricker clones. They weigh quite a lot as stock (120-130kg) Might be a better foundation for a trials conversion?

Thanks for replies, very helpful. Some thoughts: I saw this in another thread. Unfortunately when I phoned them they said they were no longer manufacturing this bike. Seems they never brought it to market. It's a shame as it would've been the perfect choice. I've extensively looked and no where else is offering modern trials bikes of this kind. The gear will change will be fine. Many sprockets available. Only problem is trials handlebars, I haven't seen any of these for sale. Are they meant to be completely straight? Wide or narrow? Footrests and seat should be easy to fix. Most of the suspensions on these bikes are non-adjustable. Maybe different springs on rear and softer fluid in front forks? Will see how the suspension handles and consider it. Main thing I'm worrying about is weight. Is 110kg light enough?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to trials in general. I am looking at getting into the sport. However, there is one big problem: I live in China. A country which is definitely not known for its Trials motorcycles. Importing japanese bikes is out of the question and classic trials can't be found anywhere. The option I've been looking at is to buy a vintage scrambler motorcycle that are common here. Usually custom made. One example: Most of the bikes include a choice of either 125/150/200/ 250cc engine, with a vast selection of gearing options available. Trials tyres are available for all rim sizes and the bikes can be modified in many different ways. (remove unncessarry electrical items, handlebar setups , suspension setups, different seats, hydraulic clutches and disc brakes front/back. I'm not looking for anything competitive, just something to practice slow speeds, balance and finesse when riding. My question is: - What specifications does a trials motorcycle need to have in order to be use-able in a trials manner? Static balance, slow speed, sharp turns, snappy speeds etc. - What parts should be removed or changed from these bikes in order to convert them into a beginner trials machine? Thanks
