got to justify that new bike one way or another.

The Honda would be my first choice because I know it’s reliable and it would still be an excellent and competitive race bike. In the Tucson area, parts availability for a Honda is cake. The price is alright, but getting aftermarket parts for this bike is super easy to find and the prices are hard to beat. Plus I always have liked the color red.
I haven't read it yet however DB Mag also has the Beta in a 450 off-road shootout in this months rag.
Same here! And out of the line up of plated bike the Beta is the only one NOT FI. Been there, done that, and I think the right choice has been made. In this shoot out I was told by a reliable source that the Beta was actually an RS and that is why it was lower on power than the KTM and the suspension suffered a little. Not a bad choice because parts for these Italian Ferrari's are readily available no matter who thinks another brand is better to own. Mainstream is always going to have a bigger following.
If I may steal a line from Husky... "RIDE DIFFERENT" ... what's the other term used .... "SHEOPLE"
That's why you don't see a lot of the husybergs, even though it a KTM product, not many out there, is it the Ferrari of KTM like Porsche over VW, Audi?If I may steal a line from Husky... "RIDE DIFFERENT" ... what's the other term used .... "SHEOPLE"
We know!!! You just are!
Beta claims "The Play Bike" company.
