I am looking for a tidy trials bike 200cc + circa 1999 to 2004. Beta ,GasGas, Sherco, Montessa. Condition more important than brand. PM appreciated if you know of such.

Try www.wobbly wills trials on Google.
If you're after an appreciating classic, look at the Twinshocks on Ebay, the're going steadily up in price, the Fantic 240 and Fantic 300 (212cc and 250cc) are arguably the best - along with sorted Beamish Suzukis and Honda TLRs, but the Hondas are £6-7k :o . Air cooled monos are getting rare and starting to show price increases but nice ones can be had for £1k-£1.5k. Fantics and Yamaha Pinkies are good but are getting rare as a lot of people are buying them to convert to Twinshock 'cheater' bikes. My aircooled mono is a Scorpa with a big bore Yamaha 150 engine, and is most excellent. No where near the power of my Fantic, but it handles brilliantly and has a nice, soft, bombproof 4 stroke motor :yup:
Avoid £600 2 stroke shitters. You'll spend on full motor rebuild, flywheel mag coils, rims etc, etc
I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya :yup:
