Hay people, I have a 03 montesa, and I am thinking of changing to a 200cc of some kind, probably a beta if anything. Would anyone recomend this?

I am quite a good rider at club level, but a few people have told me that your confidence really grows if you ride a 200 as they dont scare you as much lol, whats it like to ride a 200cc has any one got one?

I have got an 07 200 Beta. I am pleased with it and I do feel more in control of the bike than on previous ones I have owned.

I think that I do ride it better than other bikes I have owned, although I don't neccesarily enjoy riding it as much as other bikes I have owned. If that makes sense.

I rode in a trial on sunday with a lot of 4th gear climbs and it certainly didn't lack the power it needed to get up the climbs. The delivery just seems a lot smoother off the bottom end so you get better grip. I would say the top end power was very similar to the 04 250 Beta I had. The only thing I have found is that you have to make sure you are in the correct gear. I had a 4rt before and you get away with being in the wrong gear a lot of the time as it would just pull from nothing. On the Beta you have to think more about your gear selection.

I guess it makes you a bit more focused on the job in hand, so I end up riding better. Probably a bit of new bike syndrome aswell.
