Hiya, i am 16 and rode a Beta 125 2 yrs ago. It was fantastic, really smooth at the bottom end and when the power was needed i got it with out pulling my arms off. It was really easy to ride, the sespension and steering were excellent. I learned alot and it got me ready to move on to 250 power. It was really realiable, no problems and was a fantastic bike and i loved every second on it. ''BETA......BETTA THAN ALL THE REST!! (excluding 4RT`s)
