The new hotness (my trail bike)

[the white rabbit]

Just picked up a nice I year old one of these (well picking it up in 10 days or so).

Beta 400RR. I like these a lot, the bike I have ridden in Spain a few times now, so was pleased to get one of me own :D

KTM 400 engine in some say a Husky suspension setup but the latter may be a little overdoing it. But much overlooked and yet very good IMO and IMO others. Certainly an easier ride than a KTM for a plodder like me.

All I need now is a towbar :rolleyes:

Headlamp shroud and graphics a bit nicer on the 08 but they are only pounds.

Ohhh me like. Is that road legal too? Decided I am getting a laning machine and coming to play to. Is one of these comparable to DRZ?

So many toys and no idea which one to get.... :mad:

Yes, its plated. Indies are off, think you dont need anyway for daytime MOT but I have all that to put back on.

Its more an enduro than a DRZ which is probably more off/on worthy, bigger tank on the DRZ too. In fact the DRZ is probably a better chocie :lol:

where you gonna take it then

where you gonna take it then

Wales, for rallies really. I did part of the Cambrian on the GS and it was too much of everything. I am away for the first one coming up (Hafren?), but definitely a few weekends in Wales coming up.

Some good trails over Bath/Keynsham way as well still open and up though to Stow etc.

Not much round here as such.

Yes they do. I've got a mobile coming £190 all in so not too bad. Could have got cheaper but with more hassle.
