Thanks, but I'm not serious about competition or anything in trials, I'm buying the bike as a tool for trying to get to a specific place I've always wanted to get to with a two wheeler (gonna try it after I've gotten comfy with it ofc). As well as a toy to mess around with around the farm

Well, I agree. I actually got to try the bike today (haven't bought it yet) and I actually really liked it! Don't think I'm gonna do anything to it and keep it stock. Tbh I don't think 125 would be big enough. Sorry for wasting your time guys, thank you nonetheless!

Thanks for the all the good info guys! Think I'm gonna change to a 9t front sprocket and change the throttle to the Domino slow action throttle. Then I'll see how it performs and take it from there

Thanks! I'm really considering buying it.

Do you know how many teeth is the standard for trials in this size on the countershaft sprocket?

Alright, I'll do some more research Again, thank you very much. You guys seem like a friendly and helpful bunch, I very much appreciate it!

Norwegian I live in Norway, so yeah... the trials-scene isn't really big here. Doesn't really matter though, I intend to use this bike to mess around with and try some hillclimbing. The trial bike is a great invention for the type of landscape around me. It's a country with a small population, so sadly the bikes being sold here are many (metric) miles from where I live.

Thank you! This is really helpful. English is my second language so altough I do okay with general words, technical words I mostly only know in my native tongue. So I aplogize for that. If I can ask you one more question though, what would you reccomend that is low cost yet effective?

Oh, so it's common to tone these bikes down? Sorry I didn't know that, are there any guides on this site maybe you can point me to? Thanks for the reply!

Hello! I am a newbie to trials currently searching for a bike. I found this Scorpa 290cc 2T 2012 online, it looks really nice and seems to be in very good condition, the seller is not asking too much for it either. And, it's really close (geographically). It's literally the bike closest to me in the whole country. But... It's 290cc. I would prefer starting out on a 125cc to be honest, I am only 20 years old, 5' 9" in height and 155 lbs in weight, so I'm not the biggest of guys. Also, I have no experience with trials bike. I have some experience riding regular dirtbikes (but only 125cc), and lots of driving snowmobiles. But, this trial bike looks pretty sweet. Unfortunately, 125cc trial bikes are in short supply where I live. The only ones I've found is far away, so I would have to spend a whole day driving to see it, decide if I want it, then drive the whole way back. So, what if I restricted it (theres gotta be some kits for that, right?) Is it a bad idea? A really bad idea? I assume there would be some serious drawbacks, so I wonder if it's even worth it. It would save me lots of money and time though. It would only be temporary, I would remove the restrictment after I got comfortable with the bike. Anyone have some experience or opinions on this?
