lopez Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi all Relatively new rider, currently have an unreliable old Rev 3 which I enjoy riding but is in need of a full strip down and rebuild (engine & suspension) I bought it to see if the sport was for me, and it is so I would like to get myself something a bit more modern. I'll rebuild the Rev 3 regardless but want to do it as a winter project, at the moment I'm trying to get as many bike hours as possible. I have around £3000 to spend, and I want to get the most "future proof" bike I can for my money as I would be intending to keep it for a while. I am keen to stick with a Beta so have been considering where best to put my money Looking at current prices, I could get an older (2013) Evo Factory, or I could get a newer (probably just stretch to a 2015 model) standard Evo Which way do people think I should go? Better spec but older bike, or newer bike with less spec? I guess a lot of it comes down to condition more than anything, but I'm talking in general Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Get the newest bike you can afford, I have the Factory additions because i can afford them, but in reality you are just buying bling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc2028372 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Unless your competent expert level you won't gain any advantage from the bling bits on a factory model. Go standard as it's still a superb bike and try and find an ex clubman little used model, you'll be right for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
