Thanks for all the input. Very nice forum. Leaning toward rolling the Fantic. I feel better on the Beta when riding trials and I need to use my other bikes (RM 250, DRZ 250) for the really technical trails we ride sometimes. It even may be wrong thrash the Fantic in that stuff. But man that Fantic is great in that element. Riding buddies are falling down and picking up their bikes and that Fantic is just going through everything.

It's in my garage in Kansas.

Fantic seems to be winning. Is this primarily because of the parts situation?

I ride in the US and have a 1987 Beta TR 34 and a Fantic 240 Pro. One has to go as I set the spring lineup of bikes to ride this year. I am not a serious trials rider. Go to a 2-4 meets a year, ride novice and in my yard. I do it because it's fun and it helps so much with enduro, hare scrambles etc. Both bikes are in about the same shape. The Fantic my be a little nicer. The Beta is the best balancing bike and is a better pure trials bike. I think parts are much harder to find though. Worry that a crank or ignition failure might finish off the Beta. I like to ride really technical trails with lots of logs, off camber tight turns. Might run 12-14 miles in an afternoon. Sort of endurocross like, and the Fantic is fun in that element, better than the Beta My mind changes daily on which one to let go and keeping both isn't an option or practical. Looking for input on which bike is best to keep.
