I currently own an '86 Honda Reflex that my wife rides off-road the few times she does ride, and I also play with it a little in the backyard. It's stripped of all electrical equipment but does have a plate. I happened to see a street-plated '86 Yamaha TY350N come up for sale nearby. It's going for about a grand and is in pretty good shape. The plated part is important as the area which we ride in from our cabin requires a plate to access trails on the USFS roads. Which trials bike is a better one to start with? I have to consider which one would be a good fit for me while considering my wife would also ride it occassionally as well. The Reflex is OK, but I've been intrigued by the old monoshock Yammies. Thanks.
What's a better cheapo street-legal trials bike?

i was going to recomend the reflex i have one but it just dont cut it for me i dont like the feel of it and the geometry is way off for me as well as a weak motor its just eye candy and worth money, the ty 350's are off the hook for an older bike,i had one and they have more balls and and tons of flywheel,and its plated? grab it!
