I was wondering how the Beta EVO is treating the people who have them so far?

How are they better or worse than your last bike and what kind did you have previously?

Thanks!

Ive had beta"s since 02 and i cant fault it so far, it feels a lot lighter than the rev 3s.

Does it still feel solid, stable, turn well?

I heard the power on the 290 was smoother than the 270s?

I tried one last week, a bigger engine one - and in comparison with the old 270...

Engine seemed much smoother, especially at the bottom end.

Steering was even more extreme with even more lock.

Back suspension seemed more compliant.

(I should also say the back brake had sheared off)

...So if you are a Beta fan I can't see what's not to like.

Given your signature picture has you floating away into space,, do you need a lighter bike?

A friend of mine got his....here is his early impressions.

Looks better in person. I'm not worried about damage to the radiator filler, exhaust or electronics.

Engine is substantially stronger (290 cc) and much quicker down low compared to my 270 Rev3.

Within 1.5 hours on the bike my rollups, zaps and splatters were better due to the quicker, more powerful engine.

The gearbox shifting is substantially improved, i.e., easy click gear to gear including finding neutral.

The throttle pull is substantially easier than the Mikuni that should reduce forearm fatigue.

Beta has simplified working on the bike. Fewer bolts, easier access.

Same high quality compoments...right down to the nuts and bolts.

Suspension is much quicker and the whole bike is springier. Will help with complex techniques like flip turns and zaps.

Adapting to the bike is easy compared to adapting to a Rev3.

Vast majority of the bike has new/revised/improved parts.

Skidpan is thicker/stronger and a welcomed improvement.

Front fender has an integrated plastic fork brace. I believe the rear fender can be zip-tied on to lesson the probability of breakage....but I still need to look closer to be sure.

Very happy I bought it.

Comparing mine mechanically to my old Rev 3 270 the Evo is far superior and seems to have been well thought out. Only done 3 hours on mine so far (too Bl**dy cold to go out) but I love it!!

So does this mean the stators are not ****ty Slovakian ones anymore?? Has anyone had/seen the new ones leaking fuel??

There does not seem to be any definitive replies...
