Just a little Beta Alp 200. It uses the old Suzuki DR200 mill so should be bombproof. Only 108kg /238 lbs and 15bhp!

Not brand new - that would be foolish for someone of my limited expertise - it’s a 2022 model.

Congrats! That bike looks like a blast to rip around on. Is this your first motorcycle?

Been considering a new motorcycle myself as well. I’ve been looking into getting a Yamaha TW200 to have a fun bulletproof little dual sport to ride around.

Very nice. congrats!

I miss my motorcycles. I won't have another as long as I live in a place of crazy drivers (most of them!).

Thanks, guys.

I’ve a BMW 1200 r9t for the road, but this is just for fun on the “green lanes” -historic roadways that were never metalled.

I suspect there will be a steep learning curve!

You can’t have too many motorcycles, right?

I was looking at a Norton Commando 961cc. Nothing high tech about it and it isn't smooth like a Honda twin. It is old school and cool.

I saw the latest iterations at the London Motorcycle Shoe last month. Very nice bikes. They’ve re-engineered quite a bit, with big Indian investment, after the previous owners financial and customer service misdemeanours.
