Actually, it is lowered almost 3 inches if you take into account the Lowered Seat Concepts seat. Beta 390RS was purchased at.... Cycle Tech, The Riders Edge Address: 3136 268th St, Fremont, IA 52561 Phone: (641) 632-8201
Just rode 4 Beta's at our local demo event, i was surprised that this bike was my Favorite over the X trainer and 250RR 2 smokes. This thing lugged like a 450 and reved out like a 250 with smooth power everywhere!
Thats awesome....My riding partner and I have discussed the option of doing a Rekluse (an amazing product BTW) but I held off....mostly due to financial reasons and spending too much on other toys/accessories
Got the same bike and it’s amazing! I love the smooth power delivery and low lugging but ability to rev more than you think it would being a stroker. My favorite mod is the Midwest Mountain Engineering clutch lever. 50% less pull force required and it allows you to modulate the clutch so much easier and better during the tricky sections for sure. I don’t mind the stock tires they wear well but I will be looking for a deeper tread for the more single track adventures. I also go a taco moto kit for slimming it up and eliminating the bulky lights. It looks better and still plenty visible I just also got a tusk hand warmer set for it to put on for the cold months. I’m running the Lower seat like you but stock suspension and 5-7”. I would rather have the extra suspension but as I get older that will change. Nice video well explained especially for not riding it yet.
The weather here bums me out....but luckily, I have some butt time on my friends 390 to be assured that it will be a good bike for me. Yeah, dropping the suspension was a hard decision as I have spent all of my life looking for more (not less). But at age 60 and a change in riding venue (more dual sport)....I think it will be a wise choice in the long run. I always have the Sherco for single track. :) Thanks for watching!!
I have a 390re on order that I will make street legal, debating on lowering it. My KTM 350 is lowered and sometimes regret it and sometimes I don't,,,lol
The guys at the shop looked at me like I was crazy for wanting to lower it so much…but once I explained my plans for the bike, they thought it the mods made sense. We will see… I’m definitely going to get a skid plate with more protection for the linkage system though.
I'm thinking of getting one of those seats, just can't decide which cover material to go with. What did you get on yours? My bike came with the maxxis tires, I didn't like them, now I run DOT gummies. Watch that rubber cap over the sd card slot, it likes to come loose.
