I picked up a very old beta 250 for super cheap about 6 months ago, play with it in the back 40, can putt around 1/2 mile per hour. Couple of basic trials skills I learned so far on the Techno: one, keep my balance at a standstill, and two, really use rebound to lighten the front end to cross logs and start wheelies. Suprisingly, those skills IMMEDIATELY transferred to my enduro bike. Suddenly I was riding very technical terrain smoother, smarter, and much more relaxed on the enduro bike.
Of course you are standing all the time on the trials bike, so now standing all the time on the enduro bike is no big deal. So not just great cross training, but great for conditioning. Your throttle and clutch control also become very precise. You just thought your timing was good before.

If anyone is trying to decide whether to buy another enduro bike, my recomm is keep your gasser and buy a trials bike.
