Just ordered one of these today to replace my 2015 300RR I recently traded away. 

Happy New Year!!

 
Look ahead and you'll shred...

Brought it home yesterday.  Now to add a few necessities, EE hand guards, steering damper, cooling fan, etc...  Ready for winter to be done...

It's like the best looking dirt bike ever...  It's given me a double dose of spring fever!  I have hand guards installed, steering damper installed, and trying the tubliss system rather than mousse, hope they work out...

Would you say its better looking then the TM? That tm is a piece of motorcycle art. I would cringe at the chance of a single track scratch!  ;D

The TM is in a realm of its own, the body work is simplistic and the hard parts are superb! 

The sole of each machine is completely different.  The Beta is familiar and safe, the TM, let's say me and it have not yet come to terms.  My first real ride on the TM was with Fletch and I have to say it may have been my worst ride since I started riding some 40 plus years ago.  But, because of that ride I learned some set up items on the TM and I learned it really wants to be pushed.  By the time I had figured some of this out that day I was completely worn out from fighting it and the mud. The TM and I will get there, but mostly I need to do much more riding in this year...
