Advice for buying pre 65 bike

Featured Replies

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a pre 65 trials bike to one day compete in the Scottish and other pre 65 events.

I am a modern trials rider and the pre 65 scene seems a bit of a mine field...I am 6 foot 5 and 105kg's so it needs to be something with reasonable power, although I appreciate it's not going to perform like a modern trials bike.

I like the look of the tiger cubs and I know someone who has a good one for sale (230cc), but people tell me they can be a pain to set up. BSA C15 also seems like a popular option, but reasonably heavy? And I think a Bantam would be underpowered?

If anyone can provide a bit of advice, that would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

The BSA C15 is indeed heavier than the Triumph Tiger Cub, but has a more powerful engine. That's exactly what I have here. WHAT I like so much is that it is an easy to maintain motorcycle

A villiers based james/FB is a good bet if you want to go 2 stroke
