I was into trials rideing when I was a teenager and got out of it and have been rideing street bikes ever sence.

I have a small repair shop and have been wanting to get back into trials rideing.

I have been looking around and found a yamaha ct175 for a cheep price. Right know im just looking to get back into it for cheap and was wondering if this would be a good bike to convert in a trials?

Any info would be great!

God, I cannot even recall what a "ct" really is? Probably not worth converting though. Dependind upon where you are located, probably some Yamaha TY's or pinkies to be had at a good price! Best advice, find a real bike I think! Enjoy!

The CT is an enduro type bike. I live in Western Pennsylvaina and there is not many trials riders are races around here. I know of about 3 trials compatitions that take place.

I am a member of Ohio Vally BSA owners Club and they have 2 race's a year so I am looking a bike

to run in the vintage class and I don't have alot of money to spend.

Any of you got some info let me know.

Do you mean a CT3 or CT2 (as in a 175cc Yamaha trail bike from the early 1970s)? If you do, they would be quite difficult to convert to a trials bike, and the cost of conversion would probably put the eventual cost of the bike well above the cost of buying a cheap trials bike.

If you can buy the CT3 for a low price, you could probably on-sell it to a collector for a decent price and make some money. They would be much rarer than a TY175 and probably quite collectable, depending on how complete it is.
