Mikey Tomo Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Nope, went yesterday though, takahisa fujinama had a nasty bail... suspected bust ribs but turned out fine! Riding today, Jonathan Richardson is coming second this weekend in the youth, lampkins down in eigth in the adults, bou's first and I think fujinama is second? and raga third? You talking about overall or on the day? Onthe day it was 1.Bou 2.Raga and 3.Cabastany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) I wish I had of gone today but I have exams and my dads away atm. Back to bikes what sort of price range you looking at? or year? I also will give a big vote for the sherco as thats what I have. I think because they are more torquey they are better for begginers and require less maintenance. Also the biggest regret I have is not getting involved in competitions early enough as i thought it was some big deal but you learn so much more from them and all the guys are there to help and friendly characters.EDIT: bou isn't allowed to crash he's too goodand fuji so close but yet so far, looked rather painful Edited May 17, 2009 by Duncy H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Tomo Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Between £1000 and £1500. Seen some great Sherco's on TrialsCentral classifieds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsy trials matt Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 have a look on ebay you can get like 125 o6 models for about 1600 but there is a steering fault on that year the clamps were to big or sommin, in my view get a beta they are the most powerful ive put mine threw hell and not broken much as they are solid, they also have a keihin carbs giving you a more powerful bike and a better feel on the throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 If a GasGas costs £800, it needs money spending on it in my experience.Someone I know had a 1997 GasGas TXT250, not even a Pro just the base model, it sold for £1200, and it wasn't immaculate really.Wish I knew that before I sold my 98 125 txt in used but reasonable condition for £360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Whaat, how come you let it go so cheap Ali? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 because I didn't think it was worth any more than that. I paid £740 for it two years ago and it needed new tyres, sus seals and brake pads when I sold it.Ahh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 You should have been able to get most of your money back on it if you ask me, those old Gassers have gone up in value a lot recently because everyone who owned them then upgraded to newer models now want them back because the newer models are so fragile.

jsc Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Personal experience; 125's Id be looking at a Gas Gas or the little 125f/175f Scorpa. Gas Gas are a very good bike, especially to learn on because the PRO model is very light. Scorpa's are brilliant. Sherco's be careful ! They are not the most quality bike! I would never have a beta personally, they p**s petrol from the carb and have seen 2 catch fire. And someone I know ripped the engine out of one riding over a log..... No thanks! I know there are some die hard Beta fans on here who'd argue that! Gas Gas are good so long as you look after them - I've had 10 and never had any major problems with any of them. the last one I ran up about 2500 miles on the engine and never had to strip it.Try going to some events and talking to people, maybe even blag a few go's on different bikes.

r2wtrials Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 They don't piss petrol if you adjust them correctly.... bad mechanics blame the bike!!!BVM's are brilliant for parts, top postal people to anywhere in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsmax04 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Beta 125's NEVER piss petrol. Only the 250's and 270's as they have a mikuni carb. The 125's have a delorto carb until 2008 where they have keihin carbs. Mine does too... what needs adjusted to stop it?!It is to do with the float tangs being slightly bent. You need to make sure they are parrelell to the carb body.If you look on R2W trials website (Heath's site) then he has posted infomation on how to modify the carb correctly. There are also hundreds of postes on trials central on this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
