Jase, was it off ebay? saw a gooden on there recently! As for the costly maintenance, i would disagree slightly, you can pick a decent bike up for less than �1500 and after that i've found it cheap enough to maintain and keep the bike running. With the bike being 8 years old im not too fussy over scratches and dropping it, i cannot imagine taking out a 7k repsol 4rt and thrashing it about though!
As for difficulty, its a tough sport on the whole body and takes some getting used to, especially in the forearm department! You soon notice when your out of practice!
One thing i do like about the trials scene is that there always seems to be great vibes and not too many disagreements, more than can be said for motox / enduro meets id say! Could just be my opinion though!
