If it's a fun trial why not use your Yam? The one at last years Dartmouth meet had a DRZ400, 300EXC and an XR200 competing.

I've been looking too, Kerry. Not so worried about road registered. Happy to play on private land. Renewed my WEMC membership, so thinking of some fun trials.

A few on this site some closer than others. But do your homework before going to look as I was done by 4years, but if it was the bargain I thought it was I'd have sold it on and never enjoyed riding it last weekend

I've been looking too. Could make a little course in the garden but wouldn't be very popular. Is there any cure for this type of addiction, I've been on gum for 2 1/2 years after stopping smoking?

Honda 4rt was the best trials bike i have ever had so much low down torque easy starter, i even had a genuine seat/tank unit for it. Doing the lanes on it was just cheating was so easy.

Not quite as new looking as in the picture. It is a HRC motor and tubeless rims, but it has a tube in the back as I don't have any tubeless valves and the inside of the rim needs a little TLC. Very happy with it though.biggrin
