steve fracy Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Happy to see that the Beta board is so full of comments on the new 4T that it has now spilled over to the GG board!!!! :agree: Yeah, the new Beta is the bee's knee's.

ridgrunr Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 The '70's CX500 Honda's had push rod motors. They would rev to the moon, and were a lot more powerful than their 500cc size would seem. Smooth too. The current Honda TRX model quads all have push rod engines too. Super low profile cylinder for low center of gravity...which is better no matter what Beta tries to tell us. So a push rod 4T GG may be just the ticket, less complicated too as there is no cam chains to deal with. Easy valve adjusts too. 350cc, EFI and the push rod motor. Now I'm drooling.

axulsuv Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Now that is a SWEET looking powerplant ! Can I get one to fit into my 240 pro chassis !????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgrunr Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Yeah I just stumbled on that pic which is the one they'll use in their enduro. That's from an old article from last March. A push rod valve engine would be way shorter especially if it was a flat head motor which a push rod engine could easily be.

dixie Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 axulsuv you might just get it on the trailer you use to tow the 240 but thats about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4it Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hope it does not have casting holes in the crank cases like my mates pro, two to be precise when he spoke to gas gas they said only two holes you must have a good one! Not so bad oil leaking out of a two stroke but on a four stroke disaster Can't wait to see the problems they will have with these if it is anything kike the pro was when released.

spud Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) The '70's CX500 Honda's had push rod motors. The bike of choice for the London Dispatch rider. I see a CX500 wheelie across Chelsea Bridge, the rider missed a gear whilst the front was up and blew the engine big style.The CX was good for one hundred thousand miles and more, its replacement the VT500 was crap and had a cham chain. Gas Gas 350cc with EFI and weighing in less than 70kg. Can they do, or more importantly do they think this is the bike for clubman - bearing in mind the other three manufacturers are all competing for the clubman sales market wouldn't it be nice to think Gas Gas is going for the clubman Expert market with this bike motor?

lewis_gasgas Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Don't forget the rim's that don't seal and you have tosort that out yourself oh yeh that applies to all the bikes but the mont's good really a rim manufacturer that can't make them do the one thing their supposed to do hold air! Why dont you just stay in the beta section you clearly love the bike you ride so go talk about it and stop critisicing the other bikes. Its not a Whos bikes better debate. Where did you get this news from anyway about a 4 stroke ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
