Need a 125 Trial Bike
Discussion
Having just sold number 1 sons TY80 I have been looking for a decent 125 for him.
Maybe a Gas Gas, Beta, Sherco or in a perfect world an early Scorpa 4 stroke with the Yamaha engine.
However, either these bikes are in North Yorkshire or even farther away or are just silly money.
It seems even tatty ones fetch the same money as tidy ones?
Anyone know of a trail bike dealer in the south who will not pull my pants down and try to
me?
I have tried Trials and MX news which just seems newer more expensive stuff.

Thanks for all that.
My son is reasonably new to Trials and TBH was not the best on his TY but is just physically too big for it now.
Part of the problem was the time between me being able take him out to practice and the lack of anywhere to ride around here.
I thought and heard from someone who had ridden one that the Scorpa was the biz.
I hear what you say about the clutch though.

He will be 12 in March so by my understanding he can ride a 125.
My concern is that he is too big for an 80.
(also I could ride a 125
)
Is that born in 1996? If so he's C class which limits him in competition to 80 under ACU rules. The marker is that he is 11 on January 1st then he rides in the lower class. There is no problem if he just practices.My concern is that he is too big for an 80.
(also I could ride a 125
)So the question now is
Do I buy an 80 and by the time he has got anywhere near competition level he will be able to ride a 125 or buy a 125 now that will still be usable when he has improved enought to enter competitions?
do you thing local clubs would let him ride in competitions but just discount him from results?
