Hello all,
I joined the forum about a month ago and haven't posted anything yet. I thought it was time I should but I don't have a Beta, yet.
I have my sights on a 400RS, hopefully early next year. I've been a hardcord KTM fan for nearly my whole motorcycling life beinging with sharing a friends Penton in the early seventies and winning my first trophy at a marathon.
I'm also a hardcore Italian machinery man since the seventies having owned a few Alfa Romeos, Fiats, Ducatis, SWMs, a Gilera, Stornello, Simonini and my beloved Mazzilli. Currently riding mainly vintage MX and enduro events but doing some dual sporting and trail riding too. My current modern trail bike is an old '98 KTM 200EXC. I ride a Kawasaki KLX250R on dual sport rides. In my quest for a new dual sporter I decided there was far too much orange for me and since I like riding something a little different was drawn to the Beta.
Coming from a vintage bike world I was not a stranger to the Beta name. I also won national titles in AHRMA trials on a Yamaha TY175 as well as a MX title on a Cheney JBR.
So anyway as the end of the year draws close I'm getting anxious and need to get serious about selling some bikes to make space and money.
Rick
