Thanks for the help everyone. I am up north in Bonner county. About 60 miles south of Canada. I found a club in Spokane, WA that I might try to check out. It’s a couple hours away so I should be able to do it. Really appreciate everyone’s help and offers.

Ok thanks for the advice. There is a shop in the area that caries beta and Scorpa. Both are priced about the same and cheaper than the used TRS. I think I am going to get a 250 beta or Scorpa, as far as parts availability does either one of those stand out above the other? I can do work on bikes myself but I don’t want to struggle to find parts or get support Incase there’s an issue I can’t fix myself.

Is the power delivery of a 2 stroke vs 4 stroke very different like it is with a regular dirt bike?

I am 5'11 tall (180cm) and 190 lbs (86 kg). I am athletic and very physically fit. I race in GNCC hare scrambles and ride hard enduro on my GasGas 300 XC. I want to get a trials bike to help with my hard enduro skills and also as just another motorcycle activity to enjoy. I have never even seen a trials bike in person and I don't think there are any clubs near me but I will try to look. I have no idea what to look for for a first trials bike. 2 stroke or 4 stroke, engine displacement, etc. I do not want to get a beginner bike that I will quickly out grow but I do not want a bike that will be too much for me. There is a beta dealer 2 hours from me and I think that is the closest dealer that will have trials bikes but I don't mind driving further. There are 2 bikes near me for sale that are used. A 2005 beta 125 for $ 3500 and a 2018 TRS 250 Raga for 8300
