Hello,

I am looking to get into trials riding this year. I have been to several vintage trials events and really think i want to give it a try.

Anyone know of any good trials bikes for sale in the area? i am in the fredeick / hagerstown area.

People that might know of bikes for sale will need to know if you want a vintage bike or a modern bike.

Im leaning toward modern.

I like vintage bikes and if i found a good one it might be hard not to pick it up. but have been told by many riders that learning the sport will be easier on a modern bike.

Need a budget.
Plenty of new bikes available.
Have a couple guys still on the list looking for the $2500 - $3500 bike, they move fast and are normally spoken for even before placed on the market.

Go to the vendors section and PM Maryland Mototrials (Dan) to add you to his long list of guys wanting a 2-3k bike.
When something hits the market that strikes you be ready to jump. Many guys just like you looking for that entry level bike price range.
I will post up anything I find.

Also watch the postings on the RYP site.
The first post is a scorpa that looks as new for 3k that is located in Hershey Pa.
MotoJunkie has about a bazillion hours on his and still running strong (Yamaha engine).
This bike looks as if it resided in the garage for the majority of its life.

Picked up a 2009 sherco 290.
Rode the "beg" class at candytown. Had a blast. Let me know if anyone is in the frederick/hagerstown area and wants to get together to practice
