Hi Guys, I am new to trials and a friend has offered me his 280 txt pro 2003.

I was looking for a Beta Rev 3 200 or 250.

My problem is the gas gas feels very powerfull for a newbie, can it be geared different or any other tweeks ?

Also I am 5 feet 7inches, 11 stone very late thirties.

The Beta feels alot smaller to ride,or can the Gas Gas be adjusted to someone my size ?

I here the 125cc gas gas is a great bike any vibe on this ?

Thanks for any feedback.

Jeff.

i dont think a 125 cc would be powerfull enough,

to tame it a bit you could just fit a slow action throttle and change the sprokets around

i have a gas gas txt pro 125 racing and i ride youth b,, i think for somone begining u would need a 200 0r a 250 the gasgas 200 is a cracking bike btw.

I started on a 280 txt in my late thirtys, despite being told after I bought it ,it was too much. Love it to bits never ridden trials before I got on this.

Thanks for reply guys.

I think if he lets me before buying, I will try a slow throttle and change the gearing.

Any vibes on the Beta Rev 3 or are you Gas Gas lovers only ?

Thanks Jeff.

Best response you'll get it to try as many different bikes as you can and narrow down from there. What suits us may not be what you're after. I ride a Beta and find it suits me better than anything else; try them all first
