thanks for all the advice guys. RDCHAIR - thanks for the advice mate thats really useful... Are the gassers really that un- reliable though??

I started riding off road bikes when i was 6 (mainly scramblers and enduro style bikes) but stopped when i was around 15/16 and i am now 22. The one style of bike i've always loved and wanted to try is trials...yet i've never had the chance Until now I've got between 1000 and 1500 pound to spend on a decent trials bike that is going to be used for fun in woods and local trails. I have always loved the gas gas bikes and have been looking at the txt 250. WOuld this be a good trials bike to start on? The biggest bike i have been on before is 200cc. I'm open to other bikes like a sherco & beta etc. What year would i be looking at for that money? Cheers guys p.s. im 11 stone if that is going to make a bi difference on what bike to get.
