We used to get the Beverly here in Canada, better known around these parts as the BV 250 and BV 500. We no longer get the BV and will not get the new Beverly. But I thought you might still be interested in the revised design. Another new feature is that the 250 cc engine is now the same fuel injected engine in the GTS 250 ie and no longer the carburated 250 cc that we had in our BV 250's.

Highway duty is not its forte, but it can maintain legal speeds, even on moderate grades. That said, if you try to overtake traffic or bring a passenger, you'll wish for more power. True top speed is about 77 mph, but the speedometer fibs a bit, showing about 86 flat out.
