Was thinking either the Beta evo 300 factory or the Sherco 300st factory. The Beta dealer is close to the house and I like to support local brick and mortar stores over internet stores.

I’m think about getting a new bike and find lots of articales talking about all the changes in various bikes but no comairisons. Any other type of bike they will do shootouts and comparisons talking about the good and bad points of the bikes but I can’t find anything like that for trials bikes. Anyone know of a publication that does those sort of things? Thanks.

I’ve been on dirt and street bikes for over 40 years and on Tuesday I bought my first trials bike. A 2006 Gas Gas 280 txt pro. On Friday I was off work so I brought home a bobcat and commenced to make part of the back yard a riding area. It was raining so when I was done I decided to try to fix a leaky rear tire. I knew I was in trouble when I got the tire off and the rim tape was siliconed on. Under that was some crusty gunk. I cleaned it all up and proceeded to checking the spokes. Out of the first 9 I checked 4 broke so I ordered a new set and rim tape. Now I have to wait until Wednesday or Thursday to play on all my work.

Bought my first trials bike on Tuesday and this is what part of my back yard on Friday.
