Two years ago I picked up a used 2001 TXT280 with the same fellings you have.
I did not enter any Trials events, I now kick myself for not doing that! I sold
the Trails bike this spring, so I could get a bigger bike for my son.
I do believe riding the trials bike has helped my Enduro skills. The best part is you can practice in a small area in your back yard! Buy a used bike to see if you like it.
Ryan Young has a very good DVD "Training Trials" it is very good, pick it up before you buy a bike. He makes it look sooooo easy, til you try some of the
exercises yourself!
Good Luck!
