    It is torquey enough but it does feel heavy, I'd have my mates 2020 Beta 300 any day over one of them, I had the 450 on the softcock map as well, it was ok to trickle along on but if you twisted the throttle a bit hard it wanted to fuck off into orbit

    Yet my 1984 IT200 forded that same river twice with no problems

    To be fair my mates Huski 510 has much better power than his WR450 did. But I'd still rather his GG300 if it wasn't so tall.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The 2020 Beta 300 is fucking magic, Fluffy has a 2010 Husqvarna 300 and good as it is the two bikes are miles apart, of course neither really compare to the IT200 which is in a league of it's own

    It was his bike I was riding for part of the second loop while he took my IT, he did one of the Enduro loops on it but I don't think he was filming then

    Here he is on the IT, first he falls off it, he rides past me and Gordon when we're bogged and does the Enduro loop on it

    You need to get some toothpaste or something onto the tank.

    Nah, it's well past that, I've tried a few different things, the only thing that can fix that is buying a new tank
