December 28, 201411 yr Hi, i am new to the sport of trials bikes and need a little advice. After sifting through ebay and local dealers i have a short list of two models. . . A 2004 beta rev 3 270 or a sherco 290 of the same year. The sherco is a lot cheaper and i don't understand why. Does the sherco have reliability issues whereas the beta is a more bomb proof motor. Any advice or pointers are greatly appreciated. Many thanks
December 28, 201411 yr That was a great year for the Beta as a lot of upgrades were done. Nothing wrong with the Sherco. You really need to go by condition and find out who and at what level they rode. A used bike with the lowest amount of use would be the first choice.
December 28, 201411 yr What could be a factor in the cost difference is that the sherco has no adjusters in the forks & only spring preload adjustment in the rear where the Beta has spring preload on 1 fork & rebound adjustment in the other, rear shock has preload & rebound adjustment Reality is that most people do not adjust the suspension far from factory settings if at all
