I have been to a few events and have a few friends that ride trials. I am now in the market for a bike. I dont have a large budget for this so i have been looking at some older bikes. a couple are the sherco 2.9 2004 and then a 2007 beta 270.
Problem with the beta, the last time the guy had it out the water pump seal started leaking and ended up with antifreeze in the oil. He stopped riding it but he said the oil looked milky. This one seems to be a good price $2600 after he gets it fixed but it kind of scares me a little.
The other bike i am looking at it is the 04 sherco "this bike held the Number 1 plate in Florida. It was ridden by a member of the Sherco World Trials Team. It was professionally maintained." is local and looks really clean but wants $2900 for it.
Since i know very little about trials bikes, i thought i would come here for some help. Is there anything to look for on the shercos around the 2004 year that i should check out?
