He would be the man to ask?
I think the question was if there was anyone into them.
I don't think the o.p. is asking much else so far.

Aye I know, I didn't mean it to sound that way.
Just when you said that I began to think maybe there was some advice being requested by the o.p., so I read back.
Off road biking of both kinds kind of go hand in hand in my experience. If you started riding scramblers or trials bikes your natural choice would be a mountain bike.
Same goes the other way.
Saying that I rode scramblers before MTBs were available as such, but I am sure I would have got one had they been around.
I think it is a great idea to get a trials bike to share with someone else, they are toys after all and unless you are competitive a few hours a week is going to give you that fix.
The only area of bikes I have taken a step back from is sports bikes, long story but I won't be riding them anymore.
Andy would seem to be a long served trials rider, it is great to have that kind of knowledge available here.
Don't know about yer taste in tub thumpers though.

You have a few years on me, but that does not make you old.
Have you ever been up here for the sled dog rally?
If you venture up for that give me a bell, you can take that Funduro for a burn.

i've had a few in my day
yamaha , ty80 , ty175
suzuki , rl250 beamish
fantic , 249 or close to 249 ?
hodaka , 125 combat wombat (in pink)
but got fed up with them quickly as my mates all had 250 crossers so after the hodaka i went to a cr250 red rocket
i've had a string of 250's and loved them got a 1986 maico 500 gm star just now which is cracking (if you like your arms poping out of their sockets) it'll kill me one day
