    I thought my review was pretty glowing. I have had all sorts of bikes in every size. Right now own a 144, 165, 511, KX500, TR650, hand many WR250's, rode piles of KTM250/300's I get it. I just prefer smaller displacement bikes right now. Fell in love with the 125/144/165 idea and it kinda stuck. Like how they make you ride the bike and cant be lazy. I had a decked out all redone TXC450 with a reckluse. Was a magic carpet ride. Switched to 125's at the shock of my friends and just love thrashing those little bikes. Less power and small cranks make bikes handle amazing. Like I said in my review, 300's are not really my thing as I ride very tight technical and the 165 is the perfect displacement for me. Out of any 300 I have ridden the Bate is by far my favorite. Thats why I long for a 175-200 class bike from them.

    I get that, all I meant was if someone was in the market for a Beta was avoiding the 300 for a 250 based on KTM experience they should just try it first.

    The Beta 300RR OEM TBT suspended bike is now in full US Purvines race team parts suspension with the Red 48 Marzocchis and the Fox rear shock(RC3 I think its called) (I guess also tuned by TBT), I have not ridden it since that kit was added.

    for smart marketing purposes they should call it a 175, that number displacement name has deep enduro recognition factor built into it.

    Was talking with Walt recently and he mentioned he ended up with a broken 125 motor to play with. Said, "what should I do with it?" I said stroke it! He said good idea, looks like he is doing so. Walt, when you get done playing with it send it to me to try :cheers:

    Walt call er a 185 close enough and the that number also has that enduro/old school DS 2 stroke recognition factor. That recognition factor is built in as well.
