welcome armpump. im from cape town..

many thanks all. seems like a good time for an 07 then.

Can anyone enlighten me as to when they will get released? Trying to decide wether an 07 280 or wait for the 08's.

thanks for the comments guys. very helpfull.

Rumour has it the 2007 Beta is much lighter feeling in the front end. Can anyone confirm this? does the new bike handle as well as the Sherco/Gas Gas from a manouverability/hopping perspective or is it still at a distinct disadvantage. I am on a 06 Beta, reluctantly thinking of switching to Sherco or Gas Gas for the handling, but there are no new 07's Beta's around here to try, to see if they are now comparable.
