I've decided to start riding trials again after a three year break, I road a 2005 GasGas 250 for a few years at very much beginner level. I have the opportunity to buy a very well looked after 2006 Beta 200 my only concern is that it may be a little underpowered for me, while I will still be riding as a novice I am 6' and 15 1/2 stone, is the 200 going to have enough mojo to pull me along?

Thank you in anticipation, Ted.

I'm sure others will be along shortly to say the same thing, but the 200 will not be underpowered for you. Don't think about the capacity, it's a trials bike which just needs riding, and a truly excellent one at that.

Think you will be pleased with the Beta 200 is u decide to buy,they have ample power.have had both the 125 and the 250 REV 3 and i'm 16 stone.now riding a 125 scorpa 4 stroke. 

That and the 200s are very popular for resale if you do decide on a bigger bike.

Many thanks gents, I'm off to have a closer look this evening.

Kind regards, Ted.

Once again tanks for the advice, I bought the 200 last night and I'm delighted with it, looking forward to our first trial together.
