Anyone can give me any gotchas or buying tips when looking at one of these bikes other than the norm.
Looking to pick one up , I have access to one which has never competed , been ridden round the farm mainly by a senior.
Visibly good condition , just needs a good clean.
Are they worth in the 3000-3500 grand arena?
1 owner bike
I appreciate your feedback

Hi there,
I owned a 2000 model until late last year, and I reckon they are basically bullet-proof.
In the 8 years I owned it, it did a season or two in B grade, then the rest of its life in C grade.
Basic annual maintenance, like clean/grease suspension linkages and change fluids.
Also changed the engine oil a couple of times a year.
I replaced the chain and sprockets once, the rear tyre twice, and that's about it.
Give Mal Loone a call and he'll tell you the same thing - that model will go forever.
Good luck,

I bought Keiths bike and can vouch that its bullet proof. It has been a great purchase to learn to ride trials.
