Big rich

Cheers cabby the most important thing to me is reliability . I'm only gunna be using the bike for a weekend tootle around and practicing basic trials technique . I've read from a few threads that the old Yamaha engine in them is reliable but heavy , sluggish and not capable of things that newer trials bikes of today are . but then again I figure the bike would be capable of doing things far beyond my ability .

Hello im a noobie on the market for a bike and the 2005 sy 250 seems like a very reasonable option for me . Just curious as to how your bikes have been in the months/years you've owned them ? Any help and advice would be much appreciated . Rich

ayup Paul i fully understand where you're coming from . I've joined a few groups on facebook and scour fleabay daily. I've got a fair bit of land to play on where I live but will eventually get bored of doing the same old stuff on my own . How much is it to ride at bumpys ? Rich

Will do cheers

Hey thanks for your reply. My parents actually bought the afor mentioned Ty 250 from B and B in Royston . I've looked on the website but didn't see anything in my price range . Is it worth me going in for a look ? cheers

Ow do the names rich I'm 28 and from wakey, just wanted to say hello to the forum. Been out of the biking scene for a while due to work and family commitments but I've scraped together 2k and I am currently seeking a decent starter bike for a novice rider. My first bike way back when I was 11, was a Yamaha Ty 250 and even though it was far too big and powerful for me I had many years of fun on it . It was also by far the most reliable bike I've ever owned. Since then I've owned a few motocross bikes (all Honda ) all of which were very fun, they also cost me a bob or two in maintanance and repair . So anyway decided to go back to my roots of trials and I'm very excited to do so . If anyone could point me in the right direction of a few trials shops near my parts I would certainly appreciate it. Cheers Rich
