Hello, I have been intrigued by this sport for many years and looking for a way to get into it. I found a local bike and wonder if it is worth $500? I am really too old to go full bore so an older bike to just practice on near the house would be great. Is this bike worth it and can I get parts some place without too much hassle? How about reliability? I really don't even know what year it is but it is Itialian.

Thanks,

Tim

Is it now?

I used to love these old Fantics, but the raised front mudguard and rear motocross tyre suggests this poor old thing has probably been screamed round a track for a time before being dumped in a barn. Clearly unloved, so as a restoration project it would likely be quite rewarding, but as a budget entry to trials I'd say it's more likely a false economy. Paying a bit more for a cleaner, later bike would give you a better ride, and hopefully a reasonable return once you sell on.

1989 Fantic 305, as above looks like it will have been thrashed around. Definitely cost more to put right than its worth.

Godd info. Guys thanks for the reply. I will keep looking

I see your price quote is in Dollars. This bike isn't by any chance near the East Coast of Canada is it?
