  1. I enquired about a used Sherco Yesterday re the fuel consumpion time , it was over 200 cc , they replied over 3 hours to a std tank , does that sound right ?
  2. No just observe them in the wild in there natural habitat .
  3. So I'm thinking about getting a Trials bike , I've been off bikes for around 4 years previous to that was 15 years on Adv bikes mostly off road and I live in OZ , my early years I raced Mx , Enduro & desert , I'm 62 yo and have been hiking seriously for the past 4 years but I'm starting to wear my knees out hence the reason to go back to bikes . But I'm interested in possibly riding a trials bike where I used to hike off track up steep hills over rocks , fallen trees through creeks etc etc following dear tracks and finding wombats 😀 🐾 I do like looking for snakes too 🐍 I just started recently looking and came across a Montesa 4 RT which looks good but I just read the oil maintenance intervals are like 10 hours inc filter , this is really not what I'm after I'd prefer if possible low $ cost running higher maintenance Intervals as the day's working on bikes a lot is not what I'm looking for . Is this the case with all modern Trials bikes like enduro bikes now ? Is there a brand that's better ? Or should I consider an older classic likes of a Ty Yamaha or Honda ? I also used to own lots of Bultaco's back in the day and thought maybe a Sherpa is the go ? The other thing I noticed is the small fuel volume , I did ask someone re the Montesa & they said riding time around 1.5 hrs is that the case with most now ? Where I live is close to a lot of forest I could spend all day & days out there . I'm not looking to compete I don't think or even join a club , my local trials club track is further away than the forest . Pretty much like to hide in the bush observing animals . So which would be better , Beta , Montesa , Gas gas or Sherco and I was thinking a 200 - 300 cc and used for my first bike around 2000 onwards unless I go Vintage ?
  4. Hi , looking at getting my first Trials bike so hopefully I can get some great advise here re the type of bike to go for ? I'm experienced in other forms of motorcycling in the past Mx, Enduro , more recent Adv bikes . Looking to slow down .
