    Smart looking bike to say the least. I know the boys from Coquitlam, B.C. from Mountain Motorcycles who are the Canadian Beta distributor.
    I never got to ride the news enduros but I'll tell the New Beta Trials bike are sweeeet.:D

    If the marketing goes right for Beta, they will be a contender for sure.:thumbsup:

    Love to get your thoughts after the ride Motosportz. The beta's new engine intrigues me. I know the frames were a tad better than the KTM so very curious to see how a 100% Beta matches up.

    I like how it sits low and it sounds like the suspension would be good for an old man like me. Not as sweet looking as a Husky but it looks like it would be a good bike for trail riding.

    Hi,

    the 450 is like all the other 450 ccm bikes but try to ride the 400. The engine power is unbelievable. Suspension is a little bit softer than Husky.
