I was looking at getting a Beta Rev 3 200cc 2006 as my first bike, and I was hoping for my 14 year old son to have a play on it aswell. My son can already ride bikes but we are both new to trials.I first thought this would be an ideal bike. 2 People I have mentioned this bike to have both said any bike but a Beta , electrical problems ,always brake down , don't do it. I've spoke to a couple of dealers and there all for them. Saying you get bad bikes no mater what make if they havn't been maintained properly. Any advice would really be appreciated
