Have any of you done anything with the little Beta ? Wife likes it and we are thinking of getting one and lowering it.
Not me, but I'd love to try one out. I hear that they perform very well for their engine size, handle technical sections pretty well, weigh 219 dry and are already lower than standard DS bikes.
I would love to try that bike. A little smaller, shorter wheelbase and not too much power suit me just fine. I actually find my CR150 a little too big in the woods and have been toying with the odea of either building something, modifying a KX100/KTM105, or trying out one of those hybrid motorcycle/mountain bike things
She should have one just as soon as the taxes are done, guess the x trainer springs are the same. Few people we know road them and liked what Beta has done. May lower the suspension or go 19/16 wheels, time will tell.
There is a 185 kit. Dealer has one in stock and was checking it out. There's also a few restrictions inthe exhaust that can be removed to wake it up a bit
xtrainer is another great option. 2 of my crew have them, those things are low small and they friggan scoot big time.
Just an FYI the engine is a Motori Minarelli M/C 125 (WR) its a sourced Italian built Motori Minarelli (Yamaha owned company) powerplant and used in other brands 125 "mini" enduros as well. http://www.minarelli.com/pdfeng/wr125.pdf http://www.minarelli.com/prodottieng.html http://dirtbiketest.com/bike-tests/2017-beta-125-rr-s/#tq4qD2VioOBjFqYY.97 http://www.minarelli.com/pdfeng/wr125.pdf
