Iv got an r1 for on the road but always fancied another trials bike, iv got about

Forgot to mention, it's road reg and just had new pads, fork seals, wheel bearings and swingarm bearings

Depends on the condition of it really, but 1k is a good price I would say. Certainly fair. Statues can pack up on the rev 3's and corrosion inside the water pump casing so look for sign of leaks from there. Good bikes though. I had an 04 a few year back and liked it.

Thanks for the reply, is there anything else I should look for? Cheers James

Be very careful that it runs cleanly, as mentioned above, the 2004 Rev3's had a terrible reputation for faulty stators, I had a new 250 in 04 (and also a 200 for the lad) and the 250 had two stators replaced under warranty!

Yeah Pete sums it up in more detail than I could of. Don't get too worried about the stator if it's running fine, as I had my 04 from new for 3 years and never had a problem. Water pump housing did go which Lampkins replaced even though it was out of warranty. And although a lot of stators did go a lot didn't. But at that price like Pete says it could be a bail and you could end up spending another

I'm going to see it tomorrow, do I just need to make sure it revs cleanly, are there any giveaways when the stators on it's way out? Also where do I look to see if the water pumps leaking? Would I be better off with a sherco? Cheers James

With any 7 year old trials bike... Buy by condition!! Any of the top five (Gas Gas, Sherco, Scorpa, Beta or Montesa) could be a baragin for

I have a rev 3 and I really like it, but I would pay more to get an Evo, to me it seems like low speed balance is easier on an Evo

Well I ended up getting his dads, 2003 rev3, just had all bearings replaced and a little controller for the fan, had a little go and everything seems fine, totally standard apart from him putting grease nipples on the hubs and other bearings, I'll get some pics up later

I also got a pretty much brand new hebo helmet thrown in

Nice one , it's good when you get a bike and has been prepared properly for sale.

Get the pics up.
