Beta ALP 125/200:-The Paris "Mondial du Deux Roues" Motorcycle Exhibition  a small Italian motorcycle manufacturer were presenting some of their latest models. The manufacturer is called BETA  and is really only known by the off-road community. 

                           BETA is an old brand, founded in 1904 in Florence, Italy. They used to produce bicycles in those days, but converted seriously to motorcycles in the late 1940's. Since then, BETA have been producing off-road motorcycles, and in particular trial motorcycles. They do however produce "normal" off-road bikes. Two of these werelaunched at the Paris show; the ALP 125 and bigger brother, the ALP 200 (an even biggerbrother already exists, the ALP 4.0 - a 350 cc version).  

The ALP 200 is available in two versions: 

 Both motorcycles have a trellis frame and 37mm Paioli front suspension. The motorcycle is equipped with an electric and kick starter. 

The motorcycle has a 5 speed gearbox, and the clutch is wet. 

The 6 liter fuel tank will not get you far, but it does make the bike light. 

According to the manufacturer, the 200 cc version gets you 4.3 liters/100 km. The 200 cc version weighs 108 kg, the 125 only 99 kg.
