I'll second the "lots of good tips" comment!!
I picked up a beta 200 a year or so back. I use it mostly in the spring before the regular trails open up and sometime late fall or winter when there is no snow. It more or less solved my standing problem. Now if I sit it is because I'm tired.
On a side note ... when I got the beta I asked other trialers about raising the bars like you would a dirt bike. They all said not too. You need them low for when the bike goes verticle. So I got used to riding with the low bars. On a lark I lowered my dirtbike bars back to stock because going through turns seated with the high bars was like riding with ape hangers. Because of the beta I had gotten used to standing with lower bars and it did not phase me when I went back to the low position on the dirtbike. Though sometimes I wonder if having them in the stock position might throw off my body position.
