Sounds like a nice bike. Could you send me some photos please? Let me know if you prefer WhatsApp or email.
Thanks
Hugh.
Hugh,
I've posted it into the Classified Adverts here with some pics. But if you care to message me you're mobile I can send the direct via WhatsApp (and a couple of videos of it running)
I’m new around here and about to take up trials in my early 50’s. As explained on another post I’ve had bikes all my life, once had a TY175 briefly but never done nothing competitive.
I’m torn between getting another TY, either a 175 or a 250 mono or going for a used Beta Rev as they seem more abundant and the prices are maybe a little less silly (although all prices seem a bit silly since lockdown!). I don’t really want to spend more than £1500 or so at present until I see how I get on with it if possible.
Question is, ideally if I get a Beta I think I would want a 200 from what I have read as I don’t want a bike that’s OTT for my novice capabilities. But they are thin on the ground, however there are loads of 250’s around.
Is it worth hanging out for a decent 200 to come along or would a 250 be just as good with a few ‘calming’ modifications?
I’m feeling my way at the moment and there’s a lot to learn and consider so any knowledge on his would be great!
Thanks.
Hughie,
My first Trials bike back after a very long break was my Rev 3 250.
I used to ride TY175, Beamish Suzuki 250 and a Bultaco 250 all at schoolboy age.
The Beta has all the power when you need it, but delivery is super smooth and gentle, not going to get you into any trouble at all.
It's been great for me and as the last of the Rev 3's all the issues/foibles have been sorted out.
If you're interested let me know?
