davidwa Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi - after riding and organising enduro's for more years than I care to admit, I've decided to give the trials game a go. I'm interested in a Scorpa SY250-F but am struggling to find much info and one for sale. If anyone has any advice or info I'd be most grateful. All the best, David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 As well as the Trials adverts here you could see if any For sale facebook pages have them. They also pop up on Biketrader. There is also one in Stoke on ebay which is a later model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshock250 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Not the best choice for a first trials bike, heavy, tall & unpopular. I would look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Japan would be the best place to find the 4 stroke Yamaha. They were the only rider`s that liked it. I`ve only ever seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I'm guessing you are attracted to the SYF because of your enduro experience and the performance of the Yamaha enduro models. Frankly it is best left there, it was never a good trials motor, being just a rehashed version of the motocross/enduro motor. Go for something with a proper trials motor in it. I normally recommend the Beta 200 but you would probably find almost any other 250 would suit you.

huski Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 As above,buy the best 2t 250 Gasgas,beta or sherco you can find,and take a mate with you when you view it. Two pairs of eyes see things one pair miss,and don't necessarily buy the first one you see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwa Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks everyone - that's all very helpful. Looks like I'll be on a 2 stroke then... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theluckyone Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Montesa (Honda) make a rather good four stroke if its a four stroke your after. I'm on my second and will be getting a third just as soon as I can convince Mrs Lucky that its the best way to keep my cholesterol level down. Welcome to trials old chap, its fantastic.

s.e.lucas Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 250f is fun to ride. Not a bad bike but not the best. If that's what you want then get it. Unless your main goal is winning it doesn't really matter what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidwa Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Good words Mr Lucas It's got to be fun and after all - it's the taking part not the winning that counts (unless you're any good of course). I have it on good authority that the 250f is a very rare beast in the UK so I'll keep an eye out but go 2 stroke for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
