My mate as a beta 300rr racing endurance bike he states the electrics are poor on them as well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have probably owned well over 50 odd bikes over the years before I started on the railway I was a courier for 15 years the weather got to me in the end, there’s been a few bikes that stick in memory my Ducati Monsters and my lunatic Gpz 750 Turbo I still get goose bumps thinking of the acceleration of the thing 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
