November 9, 200619 yr Seen this yet? http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...?articleID=2645 It looks like Beta will soon be selling a 4 banger, will it be a borrowed engine from the likes of KTM or will it be a completely new home-grown motor? New frame with a separate fuel tank or built in as now? When will it be on sale? Out in time for the SSDT maybe? How much will it cost and more importantly, will it match the Mont in terms of solid build and reliability? I reckon it will as they've taken their time and not rushed the bike out like Sherco did for the SSDT in 04 (or was it 05?) Can't wait to see some piccy's
November 9, 200619 yr Heard the rumor at the bvm test day oh happy days hope its fuel injected its supposed to be there own motor
November 9, 200619 yr That will be something to look forward to ,i would not be surprised to see if it had a suzuki derived motor as they have ties with not only KTM but suzuki for a number of years.
November 9, 200619 yr What I heard was it was their own motor and nobody is too know till Friday when it`s revealed at the show but hey you all know anyway, rumour has it, it will be running alongside the 2t bike for as long as they can rather than being a replacement
November 9, 200619 yr Its not a rumour that it will run alongside the 2 stroke , its fact as per John Lampkin and it is a Beta's own engine not a derivative of something else, its also not fuel injected but has a carb thats all the info there is until the launch .
November 9, 200619 yr thank **** its got a carb. no trials bike needs to be fuel injected. If its like any of the other efforts so far it will be some pile of *****. Edited November 9, 200619 yr by Eddie_Lejeune
November 9, 200619 yr Wow, can't wait to see some pictures. Beta have traditionally been pretty good when it comes to releasing a new model. The Zero was revolutionary when launched but Jordi had been riding a prototype for a year in World rounds. Same for the Techno when Colomer rode it.
November 9, 200619 yr oooo 4 stroke if so does this mean jeroni will ride it if hes goes from gasgas to beta that will be interesting jeroni on the rev-4 and bou on the 4rt
November 9, 200619 yr What I heard was it was their own motor and nobody is too know till Friday when it`s revealed at the show but hey you all know anyway, rumour has it, it will be running alongside the 2t bike for as long as they can rather than being a replacement Will it be on show Thursday or from friday only.....? Don't want to go up on Thursday and see and empty space. Edited November 9, 200619 yr by fantic156
November 9, 200619 yr It will be a fantastic bike - not bothered about the carb - am bothered to know if its light weight, produces better power than the 270 rev-3 - doesn't cost the earth - looks good.
