    Beta still builds KTMs motors in their plant. The dealer I was talking to yesterday said the only KTMs motors being built in Austria are the twins. It's not Beta design obviously, but they build them out and send them to Austria for the final build of each bike. And apparently they've been doing that for awhile now.

    ..but globalization and parts made by other companies and shared are just the norm for almost everything. I think one of the Beta small bore 4 stroke is a suzuki? or yamaha? kinda like everything. black and decker, Husky for that matter now that I think of it. It just depends on what model and part etc.

    I am not a bike design expert, but I have the seat and tank off of my 250rr and notice that the frame back bone swoops down similar to a trials bike.
    Maybe that is why it feels so good in rough technical areas.
