New Member Advice Please 2000 Sherco

[richy_n]

Hi I am looking to get a trials bike and have seen a 2000 Sherco 250

at 1100 quid. Seemd OK bar a few scuffs on the plastics small mark on

one fork stanchion.

Is registered (aug 2000) and seems OK.

Guy says never trialed and gas been used for fun only.

Is this a reasonable price?

Should I buy a GG or Montesa?

My budget is 1100 quid but could stretch to 1200 - need to buy one which doesnt

need spending on.

I am in Warrington Cheshire have a couple of mates who have just bought Trials

bikes and looking to get out soon once I got a bike

So any advice on great places to practice would be welcome.

I will keep an eye on the forum and get familiar with what its all about.

Cheers

Rich

There are people on this forum who know far more than I do but my thoughts for what they are worth.

There is not much wrong with the 2000 model Sherco but it has a different silencer than the 2001 onwards which makes it a bit different than the rest to look at and in my oppinion dates it & makes it a bit harder to sell. If you take a look at the classifieds on this site or in TMX you will find newer bikes for your money so before you part with that sort of cash make sure its a minter & runs well (or offer less & be prepared to walk away)

As for what bike, its been said 100 times before, ride as many as you can & make your own mind up. They are all good, its just that some are a little more fragile than others.

As for practice areas, sorry, your north of London and that well away from my part of the world, check out another thread on this site specifically on that subject.

Whatever you get you will have a great time on it ....
