I want to say that Dave is a first class dealer. An awesome gearhead/fabricator as well!

Sweet Beta Chris. I need some of the radiator braces. I would have been crap out of water if I didn't last year going up John Bull on my Husky.
So, you do have an M1 yes?? no need to have a plated bike and still look over your shoulder. I have never been pulled by I have had mine for 6+ years.

It's funny you mention that M1. I rode for almost 30 years with no motorcycle license! When I started hauling gas, I decided to get it. What a PITA this Fugging state is! I had to take ALL my endorsements over again. Hazmat, doubles/triples, air brakes, general knowledge, tanker, M1 etc.

It's kind of spooky because if I fail even 1 of the tests I don't have a job!

At least I'm legal :cry:

Those are really cool radiator braces! I have never seen those kind. They actually use the stock louvers which is really nice!

I got my Beta yesterday! Oh yahhhhh!!

I want to put the word out that Dave( http://www.getdirtydirtbikes.com/ ) is the man! He did a real set up. Jetting, set my sag, got my controls all adjusted, etc, etc too many things to list. He races the Beta's, has a full rental fleet of them, has full knowledge of suspension, motor, chassis top to bottom.

I have no problem whatsoever driving 100 miles to get the service he provides. I cannot say enough good about he and his wife. This was the best buying experience ever!

Pics to follow. Weigh in today.

Congrads! Nice looking bike.

Sad that we single out dealers that are good. All dealers should do this kind of set-up. I am lucky that I have a good dealer and he is a new Beta dealer also. I know sooo many bad dealers that sell bike after bike after bike. I just don't understand how they stay in business.

Now where's the muddy pic??

Thanks! Today was my last day off so no pics and just city riding. Lots of it! More pics next week.

I am totally green riding a dual sport on pavement(last enduro was a 79 XT500 Yami). For one, the right mirror is worthless (the left one works great). A ram ball will be put on the right mirror hole.

The other MAJOR thing was a panic attack that kept occurring when using the rear brake. I thought the brake was not working. The whole time I was sliding with the knobby! This is a dirt bike for sure! Brake sliding and hooligan moves are a blast! Unless you are a stunt rider, you won't do that stuff on my Ninja 650R.

Next week I will be removing the "whale tail" and doing flush mount turn signals.

The stock silencer is very quiet. I have the Leo Vince on mine without the quiet core and it's still VERY quiet.

Now if you want almost pure silence, this is the one to get:

Unfortunately he no longer makes these. With this installed, I can sneak up on deer! At the races this bike blows less than 86db. The only other bike less was a KTM200 which blew a insane 85db!
