Hi all

I am very interested in starting trials,as i ride green lanes,but fancy some thing were i not attacked by ramblers and horse riders (verbally that is).

I have done a have a go at trials day and find my self hooked,so.

What would the right engine size for a beginner,i am 15 stone so that may have bearing on it also.Any particlular bike more novice friendly than another.

Any info woulb be realy useful.

Cheers

on the make front you will always get different answers mainly being :gasgas beta or sherco.a good engine size for a novice is probally a 200 but if you have been doing green laning then a 250 will probally be fine.

if you want to ride 'modern' trials ride a 250 ride the most popular bike out there Beta buy one 3 -5 years old ( there all the same only the stickers changed) and pay about 850 -1000 for a clean well kept bike

or ride twinshocks (if you can handle a spanner) rideable bikes from 500 -850 pre 65 bike will set you back 750 - 3500 and you really must like the spanners for them.

for an absolute beginner a 250 rev 3 will be probably give you most time on your bike and least time on the spanners..
