    Suzuki engined Beta - do I belong here?

    Just joined the forum, wondered where oddballs like my Beta Alp 4 fit in - its suzuki engined, so does it belong in the suzuki thread?

    in central london it's brilliant - ultra narrow, a bit like a 125, but with plenty of low-geared torque to nip to the front.

    and light, thanks g*d - parking now in the ****ty and/or & westmonster is hell - the days of hiding in alleys or free on any meter etc have gone, if I arrive at liverpool st nr 8a, it can take 20 mins to find a "space"

    It feels fast up to c 60, but on the motorway, it's pants! But so agile & nippy I can't help grinning whenever I use it.

    I've ridden my mates and really like it. I don't know what Beta did to the DR engine but it's much nicer then my DR350.

    See below for a very short vid and pic of the bike in question.

    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
