Fantic 500 Caballero – An impressive comeback for a famous name – brief impressions
was interested in the 500 when shopping for the Beta, I think I made the right choice at the time, but by heck… the 500 is a lovely looking bike!

You certainly seem to be enjoying your Beta, there is a Fantic more in that style, but you're right the Caballero is a cracking looking bike
Aye… the Fantic enduro is as tall as a house, think it is even taller than the KTMs! :o
The Caballero was a little on the high side for a stumpy like me too…
the enduro is 3″ taller still!
I wouldn't have a snowflake's chance in hell with that one! Dirt and adventure bikes have gone crazy tall in recent years and just can't get near some of them! The DT175MX, the first bike I ever rode was so low compared to what is about these days
It is what endeared me to my Beta Alp 4.0 and also what appeals to me about the Beta Xtrainer. I wish they did a 4T version of the Xtrainer
I was really impressed with the styling and finish of these when I saw them at the NEC, great value. I know they are very different bikes but if looking for something at this price point it would be interesting to try this against the Royal Enfield Interceptor.

Midwest Moto have a demo bike, I am sure they would be happy to let you out on it. I am keem to try the new RE too, apparently selling really well
Andy (aka Thumper) tried the 500 too recently. Came away impressed with it's road manners, but felt it was perhaps a little too road biased
Reviewed in BIKE magazine this month (Sept 2019), gets a great review
Barmy that you can get the September edition in late July
How does that work?
I subscribe to Bike so I get it about a week before it is the shops, but still barmy
