    Upon rereading there's no mention of oil injection :confused:

    I read somewhere to keep weight down...adds one pound...and with it being dellorto I would not want it. Reading about more pump failures lately.... Not to mention oil injection delete kits on back order...honestly beta should include the delete kit on all oil injected bikes...I think the 12 ounce oil bottle probably chokes off air flow anyways....

    I think it's great to have a serious competitor among the tiddlers. As for a general Beta comment, they are far too visually "busy" for me. I like a cleaner look. Yes, I'm that shallow.

    I'm with you!! They remind me as being cartoonist looking where a husky looks professional grade... I still like em! Would like to see in mold graphics...decals are way old school today... There was rumor and I read somewhere a couple years ago the race editions were going to get in mold graphics but never did...

    It's called sano, not shallow and that's how I like it too. Just about all the new bikes are too busy for me.

    Actually the 2018 Betas look good with the white fenders and more white overall.

    Ive thought long & hard about buying one to do the enduro series on & keep the Husky for training but the $13000 NZ they want for it is just a bit to much, ive decided to pick up a 2013 cr125 with around 20-50 hrs on it for around $3000 & spend a couple on grand on it to convert it to suit me (lower the front, 18"rear, rekluse, fmf & wallybean 165) also will mean its almost identical to what i have so i will have spares if ever needed when im at a meet.

    My 2013 feels lighter and more nimble than the couple of older models I test rode. Dialing in the suspension is key of course. Ergo wise it's a bit small for me, but hoping 1" taller seat will help. WB165 kit is just the icing on the cake :banana:
    Now if Beta make a 150/175 or 200! on that tiddler platform it will be very difficult to resist.
    Here's another clip, no more info just a good look and great soundtrack:

    Hmmm. 125's make a great video, so two make an even better one. But...
    Riding an 18 150xcw and loving it, but sure wouldn't go any smaller for play riding or for the hills we have.

    Still hoping Husky makes good on S.P.'s promise to get back to their roots... can you say "175?" I think you can.
