Hi Guys,

Looking at getting a Trials bike, something like a Beta or Gasgas and came across this bike for sale for £675

Only problem is that the seller is sure that the bike is 1979 and to me it looks more 1999 anyone be able to ID it for me?

also any advice buying a trials bike? i have noticed that Beta are cheaper then GasGas bikes, any reason? i am looking to get 200/300cc 2t.

Cheers.

I have looked all over the internet and pretty sure its yr 2001 - Not too bad for the price with all the spares! i have got a new bike now but if anyone is interested its on eBay at the moment with a buy now price of 675

The owner is sure its 1979 so just nod your head and hand him the £££ Razz

Now you know the model, do some googling trying to match the bodywork etc to get an approximate year, but you are looking at late 90s!! Thumbs Up

Good bike and a fair price for a GOOD example ...
