What's The Best Bike To Run At Baja?
Is It Weight, Power, Control???

KTM will be offering demo rides on their 2008 models at Perris MX
December 12th and December 14th, see attached flyer.
If you are interested in a new KTM, this is your opportunity for a test ride.

Thank's For The Info.

go to www.ktmtalk.com for more info that you could ever need on all the different models. the biggest difference if you live in cali is the exc comes with a plate.

XC-W is going to have the wide ratio tranny for it. Why only a 450? You doing class 21?

Go to Threat Racing and look at the new Beta dirt bikes. They use KTM motors and come in 400, 450 and 525. They are really nice! I just rode one and was very impressed!

[Wüste Mann]

those Beta bikes do look pretty nice, they havent been doing to good in the enduros though. I rode the whole KTM line up at a demo and I was very impressed with the xcw, very forgiving bike but not under powered.

I Went To Threat On Tuesday And Saw The New Betas, Nick Told Me That Cameron Got 1st On The Plasters City Races With A Stock Bike, That Really Impresed Me.
But I'am A Ktm Rider, Maybe In A Few Years, I'll Be A Beta Rider Haha

WE ARE DOING LIKE CLASS 21 BUT IN SPORTMAN FOR NEXT YEAR.
ONLY 450 OR UNDER.

I thought Aaron won the race and Cameron got second, both on Beta

Your right, Aaron got 1st on the 525 & Cameron got 2nd on the 450, 40 seconds between the 2 riders after 92 miles, pretty impressive for stock bikes with hardly any race prep. From the crate to the podium.

I also bought one, the RS model 450, street legal, only difference is wire loom, blinkers, back sprocket & tires. Can't get over riding a race bike down to the corner store and not having to worry about a ticket. Just love that E button too!

Best Regards

This thread has been hijacked. I am in the market for a new bike and funny to see so many friends riding these Betas. Are you worried about parts availability? How is the price compared to a Honda or KTM? It is really tough to find any information except that I think these are from a trials bike manufacturer with a KTM motor. I worry about buying a brand new bike and what about resale? Any thoughts?

[chango 22]

Well Jason i know when i was waiting for mine they had sent Chip enough parts he told me he could build me a bike .The motor is ktm all the way so you know you can get the parts @ any KTM dealer.All the other questions you should call Chip @ Threat 760-336-2362..You can take mine for a spin next race if you wish.As far as price i Know it's cheaper than building another Quad .LOL

[sirhk100]

Are these bikes direct from Beta with the KTM motor or is this something custom threat racing is doing?

I just saw pics of a aluminum framed YZ125 with a KTM 200 motor in it. Pretty clean conversion and initial impression from the owner was badass. Not really relevant to this conversation but cool none the less!!! LOL

From the Beta factory in Italy, Threat Racing is the Dealer. http://americanbeta.com

I ride an '06 450exc. as of now I plan to ride it in B1K. It has awesome top speed and handles well. It is stock now but will cam and pipe it so it will run better at high speeds. needs stator rewound for the baja lights. Will also be doing suspension work (mainly springs) also.
