Upstate Cycle

This particular day at Upstate Cycle found us loading up this incredible "2025" Beta 125 X/Pro. A magnificent lightweight and nimble machine, making it a pleasure to corner, handle, and control! Beta's 125 was refined for the "2024" & "2025" model years, featuring a new cylinder & powervalve system, and increased peak horsepower. There were also more upgrades made to the front & rear suspension. Updates for the "2025" X/Pro model, included a new frame, revised updates to the suspension, and lower seat height.
We hit the Interstate to meet up with our old friend and racer Dwight, from the Magnolia State of Mississippi! This is one super impressive Pro rider, which we are very happy to have on a Beta!
Dwight's father introduced him to the sport at age 9, with a gift of a lawn-mower engine powered minibike. His dad also got a Harley 165 out of the barn and coaxed it back to life when Dwight was 12. Over time he graduated to a Suzuki T250 Scrambler. Then he traded it for a "69" Yamaha AT1, where in 1971 he ran his 1st Enduro in Alabama. He loves competition, with enduros being his favorite. He raced for Hercules in late 1975, on a 125 6-speed and then a 7-speed. Then Yamaha picked him up to race the IT175, with many YZ upgrades, to make the machine even more competitive. Then he rode for Suzuki on the PE175. And then to Husqvarna as a support rider, along with a full slate of many other accomplishments over time! Dwight has had a significant career in off/road racing, including the International Six Day trial. (ISDT, Now being ISDE)
His completion in seven ISDT/ ISDE events earned him a gold, 4 silver, and 2 bronze medals, finishing every event he entered! He was, and still is an avid competitor in the National Enduros and Southern Enduro Riders association events, among others. Now he's on/board this sweet Beta 125 X/Pro, and ready to roll it up to the starting line! Thanks Dwight! Great to see you still in the game, my man! Welcome to the team and we will see ya on the trail, if i look quick enough!
