Best response you'll get it to try as many different bikes as you can and narrow down from there. What suits us may not be what you're after. I ride a Beta and find it suits me better than anything else; try them all first.

Know what your budget is, try as many different types as you can and a couple of the same bikes as well because they all ride that wee bit different. Buy the best you can afford.

if you get on well with your montesa then chances are you will get on well with a beta. However, this is only my experiance and as slapshot said, try as many differnt bikes as possible. I quite like the way a scorpa feels comming from a montesa like you and my current beta.

So you got this posting past the gate keeper, I am not as partial to the 06 Gasser as the 05, I think that the Sachs rear shock is a bit softer and therefore better for us clubman. The Ohlins rear shock is great for bigger moves but is not as forgiving for mortals such as myself. The Beta suspension is very forgiving but you have to adapt to the way the engine delivers it's power. As said before, try as many as possible.

See which one comes up in the best condition, they will both do you very well indeed if you buy a good one!
