how biased is this going to be as you put the question up in a beta specific forum? anyway the no1 bike is most defintly the gasgas!!!!!!!! theyr'e lighter than the beta's, i think theyr'e cheaper, you can get better aftermarket parts for them, basicly they are the best! i mean come adam raga, jeroni fajardo, alexz wigg. gasgas has a repuation of only the best riders for the best bikes!!!!!!!!!!
