telecat Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Started hearing rumors of a new Beta Frame for 2007, if so which way are they going? Smaller or beefier for a four stroke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I hope they don't ditch their trademark tank/frame setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 If it is a four banger it'll probably have the ktm engine used in their enduro range. Cant they manufacture a rev 3 (2 stroke) and a rev 4 (4 stroke)?? Ill send an email to beta, doubt they will reply but who knows?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Rumor on this side of the pond is that 2007 will be the last year of the 2-stroke and that 2008 will be a complete change over to the 4 banger. Supposedly a Beta 4 stroker and not the previously rumored Suzuki motor. Who knows with Beta, they seem to hold their cards close and spring them at the last moment. Even with new year models, they are always last among the major builder to release a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa. Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I expect you will not see an all new Beta until 2008. They would not have spent the money on new plastic moulds for the rear mudgaurd if they would only use it one year. Plastic moulds are not cheap and to use it for one year would not make financial sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiller Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) 2008 Beta.... No more 2 strokes is what I heard as of this past weekend. New 08 Beta; new frame, new plastics, new bike, HRC powered. This may also be just rumor..... Aaron Edited May 10, 2006 by AMiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
