Well I was in a similar predicament and could not decide between trs , vertigo or beta factory , trs not available for a test ride yet, Vertigo got to admit i liked the bike the only thing that put me off was that they do not trade in, even a Vertigo against a new one a year or two down the line , if that changes I may look at one next time . I've gone for a Beta Factory 250 which I will be running in tomorrow , I've had a little play and compared to my Sherco 290 2012 , I'm really liking the Beta. For build quality the Beta is one of the best maybe not a Montesa which was on my list, its was the 4 stroke learning curve that put me off ,

Thanks Mazz, thats helpful . As any one got any feed back on the 250 ?

which did you prefer and why ?

How do the factory bikes compare to the standard Evo , i.e power wise, do they feel more powerful, are they more snapper or more smooth? I'm thinking about a 2016 250 Factory. Any feed back welcome.

Thanks , can anyone give a comparison of the power delivery for the 250 factory compared to the standard ?

Thanks for the replies guys , I'm going to watch a trial this weekend as opposed to ridding just to see how the guys on the montesa's get on compared to the 2 stroke guys it should be interesting as its been non stop rain .

Thanks, is that the same for the 250 and 300,

Currently riding a Sherco 290 2012 the last of the stop machines.I ride at clubman level, down south, to be honest I find it can be bit of an handful i.e. gets away from me in the technical stuff , I have had a quick go on a 2016 4RT, it is heavier especially the front end although I found the power delivery very linear and precise which was great but I'm just wondering how big a learning curve it will be to change to a 4 stroke ?

Is there a lot difference in power between a standard and a factory ? or is it just cosmetic.

Anyone got a Combat and how does it compare to your previous Bike ?

which map was did you ride it in ?

just wondering if anybody has one , any feed back appreciated.

Thanks booked a test ride .

How would you say the power delivery is compared to 290 sherco , is it a progressive power or snappy ?

Captured a couple of mates practicing streams on a Beta Evo 300 and a Sherco 300, both 2015 bikes. Go Pro came in handy once again.
