    The side stand was a brilliant and simple design that wrapped around the lower swing arm when in the up position. Completly out of the way and tucked in.

    Never had a problem with it. My ridding buddy had a Scorpa and I think it didn't have a side stand (he might have taken it off).
    The 280 motor is awesome. I rode the Scorpa 250 and it was actually harder for me. YMMV

    I think a Husky 250 with a heavier flywheel, trials tire and low low gearing would be fun and cheaper than the TRide.

    Now you are reading my mind.
    My suspension is lowered 2". Trials tires and the works. Stearing angle seems steeper than the KTM and turning radius tighter. With a few minor mods it can be even tighter.
    Gonna be a log hopping rock crawling wonder bike for a fraction of the cost of the T-Ride.

    I have always loved trials myself and I own a vintage English trials bike. Actually has been in my family since it was new in 73.

    I have a 2001 Sherco 2.9 and I love it. It's just a great change of pace from trail riding. Thinking of doing a few local trial events next summer just for fun.
