Downsizing - joining the Beta Owners' Club

[Tenerider]

 

No more fear of dropping a bike, this one can be lifted one-handed.

 

2017 Beta Evo 300 - the power delivery of these little beasts is unbelievable. Technically in good shape, but a lot of cosmetics and maintenance jobs to do!

 

A bunch of stuff waits to be installed, from Öhlins shock (used) to new stickers, beefier skidplate, new bars, carbon fibre protectors...

 

Can't wait to get out!

Nice!  I had a 04' Beta Rev3 270cc, stout little 2 smoke.  Tons of fun and it really improved my skills,  especially balance. Competing in trials events was a hoot, great times with great people.  I really enjoyed that bike, but my 6'1",  36" inseam coupled with carpal tunnel infected wrists brought that chapter to a close. My wrists just couldn't take the upward bent hands constantly clutching and it got to the point where 15-20 minutes was all I could endure. 

Miss that 160 lb little bundle of go up anything machine. Enjoy yours to the fullest!

That will be a fun diversion. Enjoy !

They’re great little things, like a mountain goat, go just about anywhere. You’ll love it

 

 I had a Sherco ST250 a few years ago, great wee bike but just wasn’t out on it enough.

 

 I was out the other weekend on my Beta enduro bike, a friend had a fully enduro kitted out Sur ron ultra bee, wheels, tyres, etc. Had a go on it and it was impressive, again, felt like it could go anywhere and only around 70kg, similar weight to a trials bike.

Light is right, ditch the T7:)

Shercos are amazing - a friend of mine has a trial shop in my hometown, he sells all the brands except GasGas, including TRRS and Vertigo, the highly praised new Spanish brands.

This guy rides trial for more than 50 years (and is still a very good rider), and says the new EFI Shercos are the most powerful and amazing bikes he's ever ridden. He says in fact the 300 is too powerful for him, so he'll get himself a 250.

My Beta already scared the hell out of me in 3rd gear with throttle halfway open!

 

Those Ultra Bees are very very cool bikes...
