jenko72 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 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.

tony27 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
