betabonkers Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi does anyone find the 07 beta 270 a lot more powerful than the 06, I usually take the flywheel weight off but i dont think ill bother yet as it is very sharp as it is, just wondering if anybody else finds it snappy.

sideup Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I had a go on the 07 beta's yesterday. A little 125 and a shorter time on a 250. I currently own a 06 - 270 beta. Two things I noticed about the 07's. 1) It seems that the riding stance is bent over the bars a little more. 2) My wrist started to ache. After a quick measurements, I could not see any differences that would explain the lower bar feel. The wrist ached, I believe was due to the stiffer fat bar feel. I remember the same feeling after changing to fat bars on a GG a couple years ago. Tend to feel everything through the bars a little more. After a couple weeks I did not notice it anymore. Perhaps the stiffer bars or bar bend are giving you the soreness. Can't imagine giving anymore power to the 270! My conclusion: I really like the new look of the slim frame, like the familiar feel of a Beta. Now the only question if wait to ride the new Rev4. It will have to be pretty good to beat the rev3. No matter what bike I may get that black plastic of the Rev4 is going on it. It's hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's funny ya know I get this question all the time "How do I make my 270 have softer power and easier to ride" My Reply .. well Beta makes a fine 250 and a awsome 200 cc machine both have LESS power than a 270..

My thoughts exactley I went in pretty much blind and bought a 250 if I had known what I know now i`d of gone for a 200 I think well it`s certainley going too be highest on the list for my next bike (unless the rev 4 comes out well ) at the end of the day surely it`s much easier too tune up a bike than calm it down?
