markygas Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) Well, did anyone buy one? Only 4 came into the country! Managed to bag a shot of Highland Leisure Sport's one today Points i noted, 1. Started with 1 or 2 kicks. 2. Feels realy smooth. 3. Not as much engine braking as a 4rt. 4. More engine noises than the mont. 5. Less exhaust noise than the honda. 6. Rideing position feels the same as the rev3 But it still won't beat a 2 stroke Gasser!!!!

markygas Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Heard last month that there would be 20 bikes arriving before xmas/end of year and every beta dealer would get one. Heard today that it might be out as a 2008 bike!! So that suggests august/september. But please do not qoute me on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybaines Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I too heard a "rumour" that this years bikes will be demo`s and the like which would be a good idea I think the Demo term is a tad loose mind as I think there were a few demo bikes plus the few LUCKY normal lads and with a bit of luck for the rest of us these local normal riders should be able too give a good honest reveiw throughout their ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 But it still won't beat a 2 stroke Gasser!!!! Markygas, I am not contesting your opinion but can you be a bit more specific about that last comment, particularly when it comes to riding comparisons. I am genuinely interested in your own impressions. Ta ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4rt guru Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 for what its worth, you wont get a deal ! the dealers have no margin ,why pay more than a 4rt? especially risky as its untried ! and if its no good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 for what its worth, you wont get a deal ! the dealers have no margin ,why pay more than a 4rt? especially risky as its untried ! and if its no good Similar to what we went through with the 4rt...... except with your username the 4rt wasn't a risk was it... Every new bike is a risk ansd some people will always be willing to risk it. If I had the money, I guarantee I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rt guru Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 says a beta rider ps wasnt the 4rts first test the scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) says a beta rider ps wasnt the 4rts first test the scott? Point made and obviously you've got my point however having ridden a Honda for 5 years I'd have risked the 4rt if i'd had the cash. First test for the 4T Beta will be the Scottish, we'll what happens after that. Edited December 27, 2006 by Slapshot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rt guru Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 :agree: i had considered a beta ,but where do you buy one from? do you think any dealers will have one spare? id probably buy one tomorrow if they had! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
