Trial Bike

[JoKDX220r]

Anyone here own a Trial bike ?

I'm currently looking to buy one, I tried a Beta Rev 3 270 2007,had it for 3 days and loved it...
I never tried a gasgas txt but read that they are really hard to start when hot ?

I have been keeping my eye open for one for a while. Thought about starting on something cheap, like a honda reflex or something.

this was my 1st dirt bike

I think trial are the greatest bike to learn on. It was back in 89. Beat the crap out of it.
NEVER done a top end on it or anything engine wise and it still runs ( granted not as good as it was but still running )
My now wife got her dirtbike virginity taken on that bike 2 years ago
A bit off topic sorry.

Julien are you talking about this?

I'm a bit lost...thought he was talking about trial...

I haven't seen any trials in a looong time, might be more common to find in mountain area.
Are they still making montesa? Don't even know if they import them in the state...

That's a TLR 200 Reflex. I think there were a few other sizes too. If money was not an object, I'd go with a freshy new 2t Gas Gas.

I've always wanted to give trials a go, even bicycle wise(Can bunny 3-4ft no problem with a 26lb bike).

Sorry to dig up an old thread, I have a 2004 Beta Rev3 270 and absolutely love it. Did a trials schools with it back in April, did a lot of figure 8's at the school. They really help you with your balance. I was amazed by the end of the day of how small a figure 8 I could do. I also have a 1970 Ossa Plonker 250, what a fun machine that is. The flywheels are so big, if you keep it in first gear, you can just idle over anything in your path and I am not a little guy.

My first motorcycle was a 1976 Honda TL 125 that I bought in 1979. That thing was geared so low I could start out in 3rd gear. It was also so under powered that my cousins 1974 XL 125 would out run me.
