After 20 years out of trials, I treated myself to a 2004 Beta to see if I could still complete. Have loved practicing the last 9 months (as well as tinkering with the bike) and have completed in two events. The last one was Border Classics event 2 weeks ago, where I was bitten by the twin shock bug! Seeing all of the old bikes I use to compete on got me thinking......

So Ive managed to source a Fantic 240 (the last bike I rode competetively). Has been in my mums garage for 3 years (a mate of my brothers). It has not been ran but does kick over. Only obvious issue is that the front forks are stuck, apart from that just needs a damm good clean.

Excellent.. Any chance of posting a pic of what sort of 240 Fantic can be had for that price.

I do believe they need next to nothing doing as they are one of the best out of the crate twinshocks out there, if not the best. (don't tell your brothers mate though)

Wow what a bargain you did really well.

Cheers,

went low as I am not sure how much work the engine will need once I get it started.....also it has been in mums garage for 3 years so in theory Im offsetting the reduce purchase price against rent!............

Will get some pics on once Ive picked it up. The bike is in Bristol and Im in North Wales so I have to pop down there in the new year to collect it

bo-drinker will be on google maps now and trying to work out where that garage is, ready for a counter offer....
