Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 1237785, member: 16962"] Excellent Thumbs!!! Yes you can easily get a good trials bike for $2500. Look for something 2000 or newer although a year or two older isn't a huge deal on something like a Montesa, Beta or Sherco. Montesa is HRC and in my option they don't age as rapidly as some of the others. Beta will have a left side kick start which might be odd for you. Beware of the early GasGas Pro models, very light and not real bulletproof. If you find a clean 200cc or a well used 250cc machine the 200 would be the much better choice but 250 and larger size bikes will be more plentiful with little weight penalty. For sure look for a local club, they will typically have good leads on bikes as well as a great source to learn the in's and out's or dabs and zaps. [/QUOTE]
