So I’m not a huge fan of taking my pickup onto remote forest service BLM roads with high chance of getting stuck, and been thinking about using motorcycles. I figure it’d save me 1-2hrs each way vs walking in and out most places I don’t want to take my pickup. Which is a lot. Mostly archery and early-mid Oct rifle so I think moto is preferable over bigger ATV since snow not a huge concern. Anything Im missing in this thought process?
The idea of a trials bike (beta Montes’s gasgas, etc) set up with thick seat and bigger 2gallon tank seems like a good idea, mostly due to the weight difference from TW200, does anyone here use that?
In digging the trials bike idea, been digging and the Beta X-Trainer popped up. Anyone here have any experience with these?
Excepts from review:
light 218lb dry
Modest 35.8” seat height
electric start with back-up kick starter option
more compact than a typical bike
oil injection. No mixing gas and oil here
turn it loose on slow, tight trails, the Xtrainer is in a much happier place. The power and throttle response are excellent at rpm so low, it has trials-like power delivery. That means it’s all bottom-end torque, which makes the bike a natural for the very tightest trails and most technical riding. You can spend an entire afternoon in the smallest canyon and be perfectly happy climbing over the same rock pile from different angles.

BETA XTRAINER 300 TWO-STROKE: FULL TEST
There’s nothing like the Beta Xtrainer. It’s a weird, crazy bike that no one really understands until they ride one. All attempts at verbal description
