no!!!!!!

yamahaty what is the smallest size that will work for my lbs

no 80cc not right type of bike. 200cc bike would be ideal starter.

My lad had a Gas Gas 80 a few years back and it was a superb bike, I can honestly say that it would have got me around a trial ok and I probably wouldn't have lost any more marks than on my 250, providing it was an easy trial.

However, it would be no use what so ever to use for anything more than an easy club trial if you are more than eight stone (110lbs or so) it simply wouldn't cope with any kind of trail riding.

125's a superb, but to some extent the same applies, for general messing around and fun riding with your pals a 200/250 would be best suited. And to be honest, not a lot more money than the much rarer 80/125's.

I hope this helps.

Pete

I think......not

I think if you look round it would probably be cheaper to buy an older 200 than the 80cc anyway ,The little bikes keep there money well, A nice beta techno 200 is a sleved down 250 so dont wear out either ,

Having said all this its still up to you and it would be fun/light.

Thanks every body for your help , great picture of you lad Pete. I remember when I was that age and riding my yamaha 60 back in 1973. I'll never for get riding that bike in the hills of southeastern Ky. Thanks steve
