timdog Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) In recent years I've only been riding occasionally and only using my TLR. I'm going to get a modern bike again, mainly because some venues are a bit much (for me) for the tlr. I'd like to keep it for the suitable ones. Previously had Beta 4t and loved it, I get on well with 4 strokes, like the low end torque etc.. But i fancy trying 2 stroke again mainly for the weight and a change as the big 60 approaches! Had beta 250 and TRS before, almost certainly going to stick with beta, got 2 v nice to choose from, 250 factory and 300 ss standard both 2017. My question is can any one give their opinion on 250 beta v 300ss I know all uk spec 300s are now the ss and i dont need a 300, sure dont actually NEED a 250 but i havent been able to get a go on the 300ss read that they're v smooth but pull like tractors Edited March 3, 2023 by timdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Riding the SS reminds me of riding a late 90`s bike. My last 250 I just loved the user friendly power. It was a 2016 Factory. Every time I see that bike I wonder why I sold it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdog Posted March 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I've had a few i wish id just stuck with (first 250 beta and first 3004t) but i get bored with modern bikes and keep wanting something different.. This time though its staying (for at least 6 months). Actually fancy trying one of the chinese 2004t tenaci wong things. The 250 beta makes more sense to me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luct4 Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 I sold my 2017 - 250 Factory because of a knee injury but I already regret it. Going to find a new one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdog Posted March 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 No i don't need a 300 its about the diff characteristics of the 300, low down torque v the nippy feeling of 250. I wont use the full top end of either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
