Interesting that you put the Beta 200 in the same department as the SY250, TYS125/175 ….I fully support this opinion and favor these bikes too. As you well know, I’ve spent a lot of time taming the Lion in my Sherco 290 (and I’ve really enjoyed it too!) and I know now it wasn’t the best bike for me. But once purchase, I was suck with it. So I’ve made the best of what I have. And this will hopefully make me stay with then Sherco for some time. Instead of just hopping from one bike to another. And I’ve certainly learnt a lot about clutch control.
I think it must be hard for any importer to make a good margin with all the shipping charges to Oz. So I’m not surprised they have to minimise the options on the bikes, to get more bikes in each shipping batch.
I’ll keep you all posted. And if I’m entertaining a few people, it's nice to know I’m doing something right.
Best of balance.
