2017 Thumpstar 250 2-stroke with an Italian made motor. Could it be a Beta motor?

Interesting.  Is it sad that I hope it isn't a Beta motor?  I equate that company, maybe incorrectly, with cheap Chinese knockoffs. :/

 

Christini's 2T offering carries a GasGas engine, yet no one is scrambling to pick on of those bikes up either. http://www.christini.com/bikes/christini-awd-300

If it's priced right-I'd buy one. Thumpstar makes decent pitbikes. Not much to a dirtbike when you break it down. Major parts are engine and chassis. Rest of the parts there is always aftermarket or parts from other bikes that will work. If christini offered theirs without the AWD-it would be popular. I never understood why these Chinese bike companies didn't pursue a 2 stroke-if it's made similar to the christini and under $5k-I bet they sell tons of them.

I figured they would be more popular... especially at the price point and the bling of AWD.
