    Honestly: This thread really belongs in the non-Husky forum. This is café Husky not café Beta. I know this is going to piss some people off, but just keeping
    it real. I am only saying what I am sure others are thinking. Yes you have a right to your option. I would never deny that, but is this really the place to promote another brand of motorcycle. Just saying.

    The x trainer should feel heavier then one of the greatest bikes ever made! A Cr 150 husqvarna weighs in dry ready to ride no fuel right around 204 pounds while and xtrainer weighs 226 without fuel....22 pounds heavier...that is noticeable for sure.

    Also a 2000 husky is not that light of a bike...they are a bit heavier then a xlite chassis 125-144

    I do need to ride one of these. However I have talked extensively about this bike to a very smart individual... And I believe what he says is true... If you use it for its intended purpose and entry level playbike. And not a race bike. Then it is a great bike...a modern day Kdx....except in 1992 they were 2999....new...I think it should be priced another 500-1000 less then it is. For the lack of a kickstart (and the lit is $400) and inferior suspension components... Just my two cents..

    Fletch,
    I promise you if you have a really tight course of flowing arm scraper single track....you can put this thing into race mode, with a good suspension set (full boat Stilwell/ Fox podium shock) for example) up and a pipe (Fresco Italia for example).
    I will get even more after this weekend . Our crew member just upped his X-Trainer game even more.....however as you can imagine whoops are not your friend on this machine even with a solid chassis package there's just not enough to cope with the hits.

    The Beta 2 strokes really appeal to me. I rode my neighbors 300rr and was blown away compared to my wr250.Stock jetting was perfect. Runs great on pump gas. No blubber when lugging and rips on top. Nice low seat height and electric start. Even seemed to turn as good as my WR. Never rode a cross trainer yet but think it would be the ultimate single trac woods weapon. The RR seemed ti be almost to agressive

    I ride huntersville Mn (national enduro was held there last year) and it is whoop after whoop after woop....one thing that sucked on my beta was clutch pull it is almost double a new husky.and a lot more then a gas gas...and truly needs addressed in my opinion... By the time a guy buys a fox shock does the fork buys a pipe removes the estart and adds a kickstart...minus well buy a tc 125...add a 150 kit that bike with aer fork must weigh like 195 pounds! The new beta 125 would probably be a better bet and I'm thinking 18 xtrainer probably won't get updates.... Any one hear anything?

    It's a dying forum and we should welcome all bike related traffic as long as it keeps the site alive for the Husky related talk when we need it.

    Lighten up. Nobody cares.

    Were you able to do the 70 miles on one tank of gas with the stock fuel tank?

    Sorry, I did not keep track of the mileage. We were filling up from my buddies"generator gas" stockpile. However we probably did use right around a full tank for the three days of riding.

    Good info in here. I have a riding buddy that's about 5' 6" and struggles with his KTM200 just due to seat height (not his riding ability). He really needs to test ride a X-Trainer. The other cool thing is you can do a few engine mods if you need more power like the 300rr.

    Or save the $ and just have the seat lowered 2 in. Seems a KTM 200 would be an awesome bike. Not knocking the X-Trainer idea. Always wanted to try a 200 myself. They say I am too fat and old though.

    There's a big difference between a lowered and a physically smaller bike and it was really obvious riding the X trainer back to back with the 250 and 300 RR bikes
