Was the Ty mono the beginning of the end for Trials as a popular sport in Australia?

All the bikes were getting more and more specialised and less suited for trail riding.
The :italjet: Scott of motorcycle riders couldn't get out on the fire trails in relative comfort like he could on the twinshocks of the past.
These bikes had a more relaxed riding position and a seat that contained real polyurethane foam that wasn't hidden below a trapdoor seat purely for air cleaning purposes.

Kurt, I am not really sure what you mean, obviously trail bikes were more suited for Trail riding than Trials bikes. The :italjet: Scott did have a big seat, it is Twinshock and in my opinion has a similar riding position (when sitting down) to a :Honda: TL 125.
Now back to :yamaha TY Mono in a magazine that predates :yamaha TY 250 L by about 10 Years.

The article is long winded so I am only showing the parts relevant to Trials.
