2020 Beta 200RR Vs 300RR - Watch before you buy Review! 

hahahah best comment 2020

Was a lot of fun testing and they were amazing bikes! Beta is really developing great bikes!

You and me both!!! Glad I was able to help with your decision! Braaaap!!!!!

Hey thanks Iron, the key board warriors are hilarious with their backhanded tips so Disclaimers set the stage. I really appreciate the comment, we put a lot of time into a balanced review and boy was it fun. Thanks for watching

@@WADZUP I hear you man, I enjoyed along with ya. Ride on

@@Iron_Thunderstorm Braaaap cheers amigo!!

Hey thanks!

Seriously slippery but the Beta made life a lot easier! Thx buddy

Thanks you!!!

Well said, I hear ya loud and clear!! Cheers!

Cheers mate! Braaappp

Thanks Tara, I think the 200rr or the Beta Xtrainer would be perfect for you at sandy bluff ranch!

Wow really eh, interesting. I can imagine why you changed but what was the deciding factor on your end?

WADZ UP I’m short so the height of the 200 was much better and the 200 is much more nimble for tight single track. I have no problem. Keeping up with the 300’s or 350’s

@@MichaelSSweigart thanks!

@@MichaelSSweigart Yet it has a terrible turning circle, its fine in really tight stuff where power dont matter, if thats all you do, but i found it wanting once i went out in open woods and so on..

@@mixalis6168 what do mean by wanting??

Hey thx! What areas do you like to ride? Always nice to hear what part of the world your woods weapon is deployed.

T P :They are as bullet proof as anything out there.

Hey thanks London, I bet the 250 is a great middle ground.

Cheers thx for watching, good time to buy!

Smiles for miles, rips, ridiculously legit!

Ps I'll be doing a lot more Beta video to come!

@@WADZUP Looks like a lot of McNutt. You film it well; in colourful, muddy splendour. That 200rr looks sweet! I couldn't gel with the newer KTM 150xc-w in the gnar, but the previous gen 200xc-w was a beaut. I imagine that the Beta 200 simply updates it and adds that unique Beta flavour. Awesome review!

@@bitingdogg3236 thanks BD!

Great choice and bike. Cheers

Thanks Mike, great rider 200RR feedback. You like your 200RR so much your still okay to watch reviews. That's committment! Cheers buddy

Whoa! DOJ is in the house. Must of done some right to hear from ya amigo! Awesome! 300rr would suit you well for the wide open ripping you love so much. What's up next on your channel for 2020!!

WADZ UP I’m not sure yet might stick with the 19 crf for another year! Be on the look out I’m racing amateur day at Gillette supercross in April !

That's so so so true., I remember a friend who bought a CR500. Broke his collarbone the second ride out He was a good Rider.. I think if most people were honest with themselves. The bigger cc bikes are more than most people need. Thanks for watching

Raced and rode desert on the CR500 for over a decade. Bike was amazing with a Scotts steering damper, suspension and some fucking common sense.

@@stfuliberal I miss my KX500 every time I ride. Have a KTM 400 XC-W now. But nothing is more fun that picking the front wheel up in 4th and nailing a waterhole why? B/c you can!

That's great, beta did a really good job on balancing this bike in so many ways.

@@WADZUP so true!

Seriously nice one two combo! Well I'm 190 pounds and it didn't miss a beat. Appreciate you weighing in that's awesome.. ps where do u ride, always nice to hear from where people or subscribers are from and ride?

WADZ UP I’m in New Mexico. I now have the 200rr and a 450 exc. linking that setup. I have a ton of vids on my channel if you care to take a look. 👍🏼

@@SWFlowseeker That's awesome. We spent a lot of time in Mexico. I'll check out your channel for sure. Thanks a lot man PS. Thanks for subbing, subbed back!

WADZ UP Sweet. Ty

Cheers Chad, its pretty dependable. The key factor is the shape of the sides of your helmet or the chin area and how good of a contact the Pro Shot makes. The velcor is super strong and snaps into place. I personally would run a safety line just incase off the GP but thats just me. If you have a bomber connection or contact then its overkill but lots of helmet have curvy designs which makes the contact NOT 100%. Hope that makes sense. Heres a video review on the PRO Shot on my channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AdOqGcy187E.html

P.S you didn't tell me what your woods weapon of choice was or is?

WADZ UP Thanks a bunch for the quick response! My favorite woods bike is a 250 2 or 4 stroke that is geared to put low end power down. Currently I own a 18 KTM 350 sxf that I do occasionally woods ride though. The power delivery is more for the open track though. Take care!

@@chadwalker8859 Nice selection in the stable. I bet the 250 ST is great in the trails. Cheers and thanks again for watching!

Awesome. Next time you see me near the truck hit me up for WADZ UP decal!

Sounds like you had a great run. I love those classic bikes from the 70's and 80's. You guys were the true moto warriors. You say you haven't riden in years but your still thinking about it. Once its in your blood it really doesn't ever leave eh. Maybe there is a 200RR or some other bike in your future sooner than you think! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed! Peace and be well WADZ

Hey thanks, recently purchased the FX350 and vibration also doesn’t hit my radar. Thanks for the support subb and glad you enjoyed. Check out the Fx350 review I think you’ll enjoy that one, lots of cool drone footage and climbs!

I use to own a KDX and love them, this has everything you like and more.

Thanks amigo, I still enjoy the big cc bikes on wide open terrain but for a woods bike the 200rr is an amazing tool.

Amazing review , now I want a few!! Keep on testing all these bad boys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great video and sound ... what are you using ?

@@WADZUP Get yourself a 200rr to compliment your Husky, then you will have a toolbox complete with a sledge hammer and a scalpel!

@@minkstudiosmusic9054 GP8

Sounds like you can relate to my style of communication and giving you have so much riding experience you know exactly what I’m talking about especially when we’re talking about strictly trail. Having a bike with less power that you can ride more aggressively can be more effective for a lot of riders unless your Graham Jarvis. But surprisingly recently I purchased a 2022 Husqvarna FX 350 and this bike has seriously over delivered and so many categories it never ceases to amaze me. For me it’s a fantastic balance between low RPM idling over obstacles but having enough power on top when you need it for those gnarly hill climbs and the bike is not nervous stays planted which is very important for those sketchy hill climbs and I found that the two-stroke especially the 200cc and the 250cc are a little bit too zippy and sometimes nervous but that’s just my opinion and it really depends on the conditions, style of rider you are, what you prefer and how you like the power to come on Or more importantly how you like to build and generate power for me that is the biggest difference between two strokes four strokes small cc and big bore. If I was on a track I definitely would enjoy, prefer the 2 stroke But finding one bike that does lots of things well it’s always a bit of a compromise depending on what’s most important to you; sometimes you solve one problem and create another.

Nice bike and I bet is was night day difference compared the WR. WR is a great dependable bike but the Beta is definitely leveling up your game! P.S lots more Beta videos coming so stay tune. I've been thinking about doing more dirt bike camping videos, lots of subscribers have been asking. Cheers WADZ!

Which WR did you have?

Thanks for visiting my channel especially all the way from the UK. What kind of riding do you do mostly? Have you had a chance to watch my review on the FX350?

@@WADZUP id like to get into hare scrambles but I've had about 10 hours seat time my whole life so I feel a competition is a fair way off .. an at 34 not something I can just drop into! I've watched a few of your videos all great I went for the beta as I'm not really a ktm fan .. over here ktms are normally owned by chavs

Did you ever end up getting to try the Beta 200? Currently deciding between a 16 exc200 and a 21 beta 200rr at the moment. Big price difference.

Cheers and thanks for stopping by the channel!

I hear ya! YZ is a great bike.

I recently rode a 2017 yz 250, insane power, although I found it difficult to control, the clutch is either on or off, I’m not a fan of the clutch, I’d take a ktm any day, although he yz had great suspicion.

Grear points! I can't wait to ride the Xtrainer in March. Sweet machine. Thanks for watching my review

BC is legendary and they keep you very humble unless of course your Jarvis. Thanks for watching

Hit us up! Let's make this happen!

@@BackcountryLife Hell ya amigo!

Cheers thx. Located in BC Canada, where are you from?

Thanks 🙏 Never did it cross my mind.

Less is more unless your racing or have mad skills.

Thanks. Amigo. Cheers

Great info and insights! Race on, sounds like an absolute blast.

Nice pick up. Interesting about the steering, I pulled out the steering stops and didn't experience any restricted limitations or concerns and we were in some fairly tight single.

@@WADZUP You would notice when descending steep downhill singletrack. In any event I still love the bike for all the reasons you shared.

All day long absolutely. Your biggest obstacle won’t be lack of power or torque it’ll be putting up with your friends and their egos on her 300s

Maybe and PNW Enduro may also

Utah is my must ride destinations my friend. I’d love to take my new Fx350 for some red rock and mountain adventures

I’m in the same boat. I was considering the 200RR and even the Ktm 150 at one point but after a full day of recent testing on Husky’s and Ktms on some very challenging BC single track My riding style prefers the 4 stroke with the more linear predictable, manageable power delivery with less of a powerband hit and more lug-ability, torque but light and nimble at the same time. This is purely a to each his own and you can’t go wrong either way

I have 2 ktm200xcw 2014 and 2016,,,,,,,,only problem is ktm200 will never be done,,,they live forever and are much sought after,,,,buy a Beta 200 and put it next to that beautiful KTM200 , you will be happy you did,,,,I work at MX track and have ridden every bike on the planet,,,,200cc 2 stroke is the bike of dreams,,kills the 125 and has the ride ability of any bike out there but always being on your game to get it up that hill with all those 450 thumpers........YOU CAAAAANNNNN DOOOO ITTTT

How much better are the new Beta 200s than the 2016 KTM 200s? Trying to decide what to get at the moment.

Great comment, I thought the 300 riders were going to blast me for the lazy comment but it's still earlier..lol. I've hear the GasGas are super fun bikes. 👍

@@WADZUP on paper the gasgas is about the same weight as my 03 300 but feels so much lighter when your riding it. I think that has alot to do with how the gas tank extends well below the seat all the way back to the airbox on the gasgas. Keeps the weight lower and more centered compared to hanging off the sides up by the radiators on the 300.

@@GasGasRider619 really eh, how much does it weigh?

@@WADZUP GasGas says the 05 ec250 is 255lbs full of gas. Ktm says the 03 300 is 238 dry and with a 2.5 gallon tank that would put it about 258lbs full of gas.

@@GasGasRider619 thanks Zach. Hopefully in the near future I will be adding a beta and doing some camping trip video and riding so Hopefully you're subscribed!

Nobody wants an strainer lol. Have you seen them. They have mtb suspension lol

Awesome choice, I'll be doing more beta videos to keep you current until you pick er up! Braapp!!

That's very debatable but my if I was in your shoes I would embrace the 200RR. Im almost 200 lbs and loved how in the sweet spot I felt in the woods and it has lots of torque to pull you up the steeps.

WADZ UP thanks much. Kinda agree, my son’s kdx200 pulls me fine in most cases and it’s 23 years old and heavy. I wonder about the counterbalance thing that u mentioned. The vibration of my yz is one of the reasons I’m looking. But I’m guessing the 200rr is like butter compared to my old beast.

@@docmartin450 i had a KDX and its a great bike and I loved it but the Beta is next t level awesome. Cheers ps vibration is a none issue..seriously!

300RR

Hey thanks for the sub and compliment thats awesome!!!!

I'll be testing it in March asap.

Absolutely I'm 190 lbs without gear.

Alright awesome thanks! Might just keep the CR as an extra bike

Best comment in a very long time, thanks! WADZ

WADZ UP keep up the good work! I’m sold for 200rr now haha

@@lonsomecrowthat makes two of us. I'll be sharing more Beta videos , dirtbike camping, 200rr and 300rr, tips plus more. What area of the world are you riding? Also any video requests ? Cheers

WADZ UP New York. Would love to hear more about upgrades on 200rr ;)

@@lonsomecrowwhat a great idea and if you've had a chance yet to see some of my videos you appreciate how much I love modifications so this is a great idea to get started on! Thanks and stay tune for more, hopefully your subbed!

How many years ago was back in the day? Do you intend to ride mostly singletrack or more wide open trails?

@@WADZUP My last dirt bike was an 87 KDX 200 that I picked up in the early 90s. I do a lot of MTB downhill and MTB enduro so I want to ride the same, but with a dirt bike.

@@Lex-Rexyou could get the 300RR and turn down the (power valve) to leasen the big hit so the power is more manageable while you re-introduce yourself to uphill riding. DH skills will help.

Bikes are so much fun!

Smaller but only by a few mm so I didn't notice, it's the weight and smaller cc that makes it feel so flickable and nimble.

WADZ UP Cool. I have an Xtrainer now but I’d like to hop on a 2020 200cc and see what’s up. Should be real fun.

Absolutely but keep in my some of the nimble lighter feel comes from the centrifical forces of the engine

I've heard the 200RR has more punch, torque and feels more complete and balanced but then again that's second hand info. I'm actually looking at testing and comparing, I'll let you know if something developes. Thx for watching.

rusty watts I have a Husky TE150 and ride it in the same place you see this video. It’s an awesome bike in every way, can’t say enough. You do have to work the clutch however, not a bad thing. I’ve ridden 250/300 and the main difference is weight and torque. Weight=flickability and when you learn how to use the clutch properly, torque isn’t so much a problem.

Solid bike, thanks for watching

There's much more than weight that goes into this. Riding style, riding experience, fitness level, terrain that you plan to ride plus more. That being said all these bikes are incredible and I gravitated towards the 200RR at 195lbs with gear weight. Thanks for watching

I’ve never tried the TM

Alaska and I love to ride Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona but in Canada it's Bralorne.

No pretending just wasn’t available amigo!

Yes

These bikes have oil injection but it's on the intake port by the carb you can remove it the sell a kit the ktm tpi can't be removed... A few friends don't like the new 2 strokes because of the oil injection and pumps were afraid of pump failures in 100 hours that's why we have betas and older bikes

Sweet bikes. Thx 4 watching!!

@@WADZUP I'm on Van Isle. Are you mainland?

I think you might be surprised how good the Husky FX350 is!
