TBNah we will have to agree to disagree. I just think the Japs with all their knowledge are selling them selves short.
This is a horny bike but I don’t even know where the nearest Beta dealer is.
I went to the local Gas Gas dealer recently to find the owner is someone ive had dealing with in the past and would NOT buy a bike from again.
Yeah I can live with that mate, will give you a run on the 530 so you can experience a late model four stroke up at zig zag one day. Hey fix yor headlight I am running a night ride up there soon 4 hrs of singles one evening :woohoo:
Gas gas are a good thing when you put enough Honda parts on them eh Ollie forks, brakes, clutch parts :laugh: :laugh: Oh yeah it’s not a laughing matter it’s the truth

just looks like another KTM wanna be. :huh: :ohmy:
i’d love to go back to a light weight smoker now with the knowledge i have.
i just don’t think i’d get enough for my beloved AG4 ):
i’ll just have to practice, practice, practice once i get over to the Bay area.

No arguments from me, Gasgas is probably the closest Euro to manufacture a bike similar to a rice burner as you could get.
Perimeter Frame = 94 KX 125
Engine = loosely based on a YZ
brakes = Nissan
wheels = DID dirtstars
ignition electrics = Kokusaneven the front suspension (marzocchi 45 shivers) are identical to 92 model Showa’s which were standard on my 92 Husky 360
and Honda are the ones that went bleating to the AMA and threatened to pull the pin if they didnt get their way

Interesting debate
Says who :laugh: :laugh: were you there :laugh: Where is this written, who was there how do we know that :laugh: what four stroke did Honda have in AMA at the time? Honda wasn’t the first to push four strokes in the AMA that was Yamaha. Do you know who was the first to go four stroke in the AMA?
I would be interested in reading the articles or any thing where is states “Honda are the ones that went bleating to the AMA and threatened to pull the pin if they didnt get their way “Great bed time story eh :laugh:

Those Beta’s look real nice, Sherco are doing a 2 stroke as well so keep an eye out for that. The 2 stroke technology hasn’t really evolved much, if at all, in the last however many years but that’s a testament to how good they were in the first place I reckon.
If a bike company develops a real interesting 2 stroke with the relevant mod cons I could well go back. Gas Gas are probably the most likely company to try something like this. I’ve owned late model big bores in both strokes and they both have advantages and disadvantages.
It doesn’t really matter who was the first 4 banger in racing either, don’t really know why it even gets brought up. It is well known fact that the class rules were changed to allow 4 bangers to compete. LOL at TB demanding proof about people’s opinions, maybe you should provide some proof or written evidence where it states this website is a court of law and people need to submit evidence to placate your opinion during times of disagreement
Nothing changes…….That’s a good post Moto that makes sense (who wrote it for you :laugh: )
I wasn’t demanding proof Moto (see smilies etc like at the pub when you yell out come on where did you hear that and have a laugh) that’s been hyped up out of context.
That old chesnut about Honda gets rolled out every time and it does interest me as to what went on at that time because its one of the biggest changes in our sport in my time how did it start I wonder? And just because you say it isn’t important doesn’t mean some of us aren’t interested and where better to learn then the web because its all true on the net :laugh: :laugh: I would seriously like to know or learn what really happened in that period. Truth be known Ollie’s probably right that argument get rolled enough but there has to be some substance to itSure we have opinions but I don’t know what happened I guess I hate to think that the rules could be changed like it suggested just because one kid threatened to take his bat and ball :laugh:
Yes rules were changed and they were for a season or two probably close to fair ( results show two strokes still winning for a season) but four strokes development saw it become one sided and the rules should be changed its a joke now and had been for 10 years
I would also like to learn what really happened around the rule changes in Dakar did they really do it for the sport and the governing body made the decision themselves or were they pressured?
It’s hard when having a debate about something and a laugh via the written word things as we know get taken the wrong way especially when someone maybe misses what others are on about exactly because you they are on a keyboard can’t see or read that person
As I am home with man flu and its raining I may see what I can learn about the above :huh:
Back to the Betas then :huh:
