Hi i curently ride a 2003 Gas Gas TXT 250 Edition and am considering upgrading to either a Pro or a Beta, i used to have a Techno 250 but had a lot of problems with the electrics and had to purchase a new ignition unit.

could you please tell me if the problem has been resolved on the current Beta's

the new betas are spose to be alot reliable and stronger

just bought an 04 beta, sooo easy to ride dealer said 04/05 had had problems with stator they had done 8 in 3 years ( not a lot). promised to replace mine for cost of parts if it went wrong.

had it in bits this weekend to understand what goes where and so that i dont have to find out on the middle of the moors and its simple, easy to take apart and put back togehther.

having given it a couple of days of use i would not want my money back!

dont think the betas have been sorted herd 1 person at trial said he had to put new ignition on after 3 trials use but if you want a bike that will rev then get a gasser but if you want a grippy torquey bike then go for a beta i personally prefer a gasser to a beta

The new 06 Beta is awesome. The electrics have been worked on and there aint any problems. Much stronger than a GasGas aswell. a Lovely bike.

Beta every time, quality bike that steers and rides perfectly.

Sounds like i will have to get an 06 Beta, what is the weight comparison to the pro 250?

a lot heavier

a lot heavier

Probably because they've been made properly

Haha Rob

Come to speak of it though since i got my 05 gasser nothings gone wrong with it and my friends always having probs on his rev3 with brake ect and odd things..

Did you touch wood when you said that?

my gas gas hasent caused me any problems and beta weighs a lot more but grip well in the wet not so good for jumping ect i pefer gas gas becouse gas gas rule

a lot heavier

At a national trial near me (The phil king)

Most of the expert riders were on betas and damn good riders they were as well and they all finished!

Near me its the other way around, gas gases wont startand betas will. at the start everyone with a gasser is frantically kicking away and my BETA starts second kick every time

Why do you think saunders switched from gas gas to beta (i think the oil importing stuff was a cover up, really he wanted to go to beta coz theyre sooo much better)

Personally, I like the look of the Gasser better, but I'd feel more comfortable owning a Beta, mine was lovely to ride, but now it's Sherco all the way for me
