Well this weekend tried a Scorpa 250, Sherco 290 & Beta 250 (all full on trials bikes). Oh dear what a dilema -
Scorpa - super smooth & fantastic build quality - heads choice but would I be happy with an (allegedly) slightly less competitive steed.
Sherco felt just like a modern version of the old Bultacos I used to ride - at home straight away with handling - build quality fine - except after seeing the Scorpa not so hot.
Beta - on a par with the Sherco but told virtually all have probs with carb flooding if you dont remember to shut the fuel off every time you stop & electrics suspect.
GasGas - Warned by several folks that the were a bit on the fierce side with even more suspect build quality - but probably ought to try one anyway.
Currently Heart Sherco / Beta.......Head Scorpa
Looks like it's off to another trial this Sunday to try to decide Don't want to make the wrong decision but can't wait to get on one again
