Beta Xtrainer - Entry level 300cc 2T Enduro

[Kurlon]

Someone needs to buy a GasGas! The more weird European children we have, the better.

I'm leaning towards TM for a smokey motard if I win the lottery.

The Christini AWD 300 uses a GasGas engine which should be a good thing because Christini's 4T engines are down on power vs. the competition.

I'd be interested to ride my 300 with road wheels & tires. Doing 50mph on knobbies on tarmac feels like ludicrous speed from Spaceballs.

It smooths out as you pass through 90.

That's when the knobbies liquify

[nhbubba]

Yeah, but since the tire started hopping at 40, the bike is barely on the ground at that point. It's really more of a hover bike.
Where we're going, we don't need tires.

[ZX-12R]

I took mine on the highway just because I could. It shook so bad at 80, I had to stand on the pegs so I could see the cars in front of me. I haven't done that again with knobbies.

[slowkermit]

Haha I took the road home at 60 yesterday because the rain was picking up. By far the fastest I've dared to go on knobbies, it was kinda fun!

[Chippertheripper]

surprised to hear complaints about the Beta seat still, they went softer with the foam (which you can buy separately) from '14 or '15 on. my '13 RR seat is harder but i find it comfortable. no where near as hard as the Acerbis X-Seat i had on my Husky for like 5 minutes. fcuk that thing.

another free solution to stiffer seats... stand more

Lol, one thing you don't do with an xgrip is sit on it. The other is replace seat covers.
That said, I'll likely get a seat concepts kit for my 300 if it stays, now that I'm semi retired.

I'm getting itchy/excited to get back on 2 wheels. Is my bike in yet? Haha Did some scouting for furure trails at the house yesterday...some interesting terrain

Define interesting.

[typeone]

[scottieducati]

That's what you said last time

You wouldn't...

Define interesting.

Sections are more suited for full on trials bikes, surprising amount of ledge outcroppings. It'll be some creative trail making and line picking for sure

[Paul_E_D]

I like how you didn't use the R word.

[R7]

R as in?

Round?
Rip?
Ride?
Roots?
Rocks?
Boulders?

[Paul_E_D]

Haha, as in Rocky!

[typeone]

That's what you said last time

You wouldn't...

key word: TRY (which i do agree = "fuck that shit, i'm busy" in my special flavor of internet typing)

[Paul_E_D]

Did he give you a reason why? Didn't like it? I would if I didn't have a deposit on a new one, that being said, I was told if I bought it and didn't like it, he would buy it back for what I paid for it.

[Paul_E_D]

He's too aggressive a rider. Thought this would be a good thing to slow him down. It wasn't. LOL

Ahh, ok...so not Scottie's bike obviously

confused. what does that mean? on the Beta forum he says he's looking to move to a 300RR which of course is larger and 'faster'.
