bikespace Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Just seen the Dirtrider Expo advert in TMX. I've been the last few years and it seems to be growing every year. Last year when I went, I was considering a new Beta or a new Sherco. Beta didn't bother turning up - I spent a while talking to the Rathmells and after trying a few, bought a Sherco two weeks later. GasGas there, Sherco there, Montesa there, not too worried about Scorpa (sorry ) still no Beta. Is there a reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta_uk Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 John Lampkin is allocated only a few hundred betas each year and they sell easily enough so he has plenty of business. He looks after the riders he has got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 You would've thought that they'd want to show off the new enduro bikes though, even if the bikes themselves aren't available yet. And what would be harm in bunging a couple of Rev-3s on the stand as well? They may well sell their entire factory allocation each year, but I'm sure that if UK demand increased, Beta would find a way of allocating/producing more bikes.

marky boy Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Indeed , looking at the mass crop of 04 betas this time then it would seem that they could import plenty more and still get rid of em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinell Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I chuckled when I read the advert: - "No chicken sheds or tents" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
