June 10, 200521 yr I had one, it was little used when I bought it i had it for about 2 years with no major faults at all. I thought it was an exellent beginners bike with good suspension, smooth power and a really good hillclimb bike. My friend has it now and it still performs reliably despite a severe lack of maintenance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ian
June 10, 200521 yr Author will this bike be a big imprvement over my heavy beta. or should i try and find a newer bike
June 11, 200521 yr after having a 96 beta for 3 yrs i switched to a 2000 txt 249 in 2002. I had the pleasure for the next two and a bit years of owning a very competitive and very reliable trials bike. 3 lakes 2 days, 2 manx, 3 scotts all finished, 2 france 4 days, never missed a beat in any, and club trials most wkends!this was not just on easy course either!the bike is capable of any expert course. Edited June 11, 200521 yr by its a kinda magic
June 11, 200521 yr The 'Pre pro' gassers are probably the most reliable trials bikes you will come accross! Well made, soft power, grip well. You cant go wrong 900 sheets sounds a good buy! You see some real rough ones around and they are still reliable and competitive. Edited June 11, 200521 yr by Jools
June 11, 200521 yr Beta boy, have you seen this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...4554574775&rd=1 Looks like it's never seen a rock!
June 11, 200521 yr Author yeah i have but im unable to buy a bike from ebay because i dont live on the UK mainland. i live in jersey. sold my beta today for
June 15, 200521 yr Yeah I would say its very competitive! I had the 99 and the 01 versions and they were both very nice very reliable machines! For
June 15, 200521 yr There was an updated cylinder head about 2001 maybe, that helped bike run a lot smoother on unlead fuel. That prob the only real differences, plastics & graphics apart. Oh, & maybe the forks - went from screwed on seal holders to one piece lowers at some time....
June 15, 200521 yr Author what it make a difference running on leaded fuel because i thought the led was for lubing the cam and valves in fourstrokes. or is it because unleaded is lower octane
