I'm so over all these enduro models, where are the MX bikes?
I understand your frustration, but if you go to an off-road race you'd see, hear and smell the mighty two stroke in all its glory. In the off-road world the smoker has reclaimed its rightful place as the weapon of choice. You can't blame Beta for getting into a competitive market.
I'm not missing out on the sound and smell don't worry about that, and i race offroad on my MX bike.
In fact the MX series i'm racing in at the moment is stacked with 2t's, I'm racing vets and on sunday we had a 20 odd rider gate and i can think offhand of 7 2stroke's in that field.
Also of note is the way they're running the senior class, it's all in no cc restrictions. There's pro and intermediate class no bike restrictions. It's interesting to see how all the bikes are competitive and it truely comes down to the rider.
I just wanna see some new cutting edge MX bikes, i'd never buy a bike with lights on it.
