hi im after a bike for trialing. ive owned a ty250 for years but its beyond competing now. plus my cousin has now decided he wants to use his beta rather than lend it to me. i want to compete, does age determine what cc you ride like mx (im 22), im looking for 2nd hand as my budget is around 1500. which makes are the best for available parts and reliability. thanks

At the grand old age of 22! you are not restricted to the c.c. of the bike so you pay your money and take your choice

The problem asking a lot of people on what bike is best is they wil say 'X' bike is best because that is the one they have got.

Best thing to do is try a few out for yourself; maybe at a local event if you can blag a ride and decide for your self. All the bikes on the market have good points and bad points, but remember each and everyone of them is far more capable than us riders

thanks mate. im hoping to get to a trial next weekend to have a nosey at some bikes so i'll be asking some questions.
