I hear ya. I’ve been checking Beta’s site for the schedule on the demo days. I would like to ride that 300 and that 200. That 200 looks like a good time as well.
@Brian Hardy I'm actually thinking about trading my 300RE for a 200. I had an IT 200 growing up and loved it. I've ridden other 200's, and they're just a ton of fun! According to everyone I've talked to or vids, I've watched the Beta is just a blast and competitive, too.
Love my 2023 Beta 300RR. I have had four Yamaha WR 450’s over the last eight years and do a lot of single track. The Beta is so much easier to navigate with than the WR’s. I was discouraged from buying the race edition and I’m glad I went with the standard edition. I have always found the KYB suspension on the WR’s way to stiff for woods work, even on the softest settings. Your observations confirmed this also. Cheers from North Eastern Ontario Canada.
Beta rarely wins on the technical front, but ride one and you will see what the fuss is all about. They are relentlessly the most FUN bikes you will ever ride. Just absolutely insane ridability.
Can put a plate on the beta and it comes with a 6 month warranty. Plus it doesn't blow up or break down on the 2nd day like the KTMs either! Also they don't change the injection style every year either. Still can't beat a well tuned carb and nothing to fail out in the middle of nowhere!! It's a no brainer for me
Can anyone comment on whether the rock hard stock seat softens up after a little use? Or do you just need to immediately replace it with an aftermarket seat?
@@bikersoncall yes you can get different springs but as far as what they come with they only come with the outer spring, not the inner like on the standard additions
My only gripe, if it is a carb bike with a mechanical power valve and is so “simple”…… why do they have it priced the same as the latest and greatest fuel injected two stroke technology bikes…. 🙄 should be much cheaper if it doesn’t have all the technology involved.
T but even the fuel injected bikes have slot of issues from the factory and require a new flash, air screw mod, etc. they are cheaper then KTM and have more little features that KTM doesn’t
Why? Just because FI is out doesn't mean it's better. Reliability is carb and carbs run better. I'm a KTM TBI fan but there is nothing better and more reliable than carbs.
@@woodsrider117 true that. I don’t think people realize Beta was founded in 1905, they made their first bike in 1948; the Cervo 48. I believe Honda was founded in 1948, and developed their first bike in 1949; the Honda Dream D. Correct me if I’m wrong!
