My dad had a Beta 200 (yellow one, 2004?) and there was me (techno 250) my dad (rev-3 200) and a friend called mark who had a gasagas txt280. I loved the GG 280!! Everything was so effortless on it, and it never seemed to have the sharp bite that the techno 250 and sometimes the rev-3 200 seemed to have.
I am currently plucking up the courage to spend the money and put my order in. I know that the 200 is a nice bike and capable of anything - but as someone said earlier i can see myself saying "270 please"! There's just something eating me!!!
