Default The new hotness (my trail bike)

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

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







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....
