Man that thing is PRETTY!

[@DerekHallman]

All the Beta bikes are beautiful for sure man!

[@TheChapMX]

@@DerekHallman thats the truth man I bet that was a blast!!!

[@holdenbostocky1998]

This is a great sounding 4 stroke too. I don’t like all the engine noise that comes from the Kawis, Suzuki’s, and Yamahas. Honda makes a good sounding bike especially with an exhaust on it and this Beta sounds sweet too.

Hey man! Great video and review, did you try the 390 ? If so what did you think of that compared to 350

[@shelovescappo2570]

Hey man I love watching your videos I love roberts and I love riding dirt bikes but I hate that you had to be 18 to ride the betas :( have you tried the Hatfield and McCoy Trails in WV they are very fun bring a enduro though! My dad and I brought 2 strokes and we constantly burned through gas because of the crazyyyy trails AND WE WERE ON THE EASIEST….. anyways have a great day and keep riding!!! BRAAP BRAAAAAP BRAP

Thanks so much for watching, see you at Robert's!

Derek...have you ridden the beta 390 race edition> im on the fence between the 350 and the 390

[@DerekHallman]

Unfortunately I did not ride the 390. This 350 race edition was my favorite bike at the demo though.

I got a Tao db17 db17 125cc to start I'm new TORONTO CANADA

[@shannonscott5788]

Don’t hate to say you like the 4t better because I’ve crossed over to 4t and I love mines especially I’ve set it up “rekluse , gears, etc an it’s comfortable with just as good lap times. There’s a reason why 2t are fading away.

[@jelleklompenhouwer]

[@lifeoutdoors3953]

They are actually marking a come back! Sherco, husky, Ktm, beta, Yamaha, tm all make 2smokes. How many companies made them 13 years ago? And how good were they? If it wasn’t for Ktm Yamaha would have discontinued there yz250 probably! But what did they do? They made a yz250x as well.

@@lifeoutdoors3953 Why did two strokes almost become extinct? Ever asked yourself that? To each their own. It’s kind of like getting rid of a bad girlfriend bc she’s a whore cheater but yet you want her back bc she has good/fun sex. #yikes….

It is a 2022 RRS (same engine, clutch, with KYB RE Susp. So it is 2022 RE but with 21 Plastics. Since the RE will not be announced until Oct they wanted to sneak one in there.

@@DerekHallman oh ok so this is just wow, thx Derek . .....i have to enjoy again 😃😅😊👍

[@ericfrye5295]

Looking for a 200rr race edition and it’s like trying to find your wank rag in the dark

[@jonathondavis170]

You should buy this bike and get a titanium exhaust, fuel mapping system like Get or Vortex ECU, and get the engine ported and polished with new cams, valves, valve seats, high compression piston, add some race gas, and radiator fans and you would dominate the land!!! 💪 💪

[@shannonscott5788]

But then if he payed to do all that to engine then that would change all the smooth characteristics of the beta 350, if anyone wants more power wouldn’t it be common sense to just buy the 390 or 430 bc they all have the same frame……Do you even own a Beta???

[@jonathondavis170]

@@shannonscott5788 No, I own a TM Racing, and Husqvarna & Yamaha before this - and no, altering stock engine parts with performance parts DO NOT change the CHARACTERISTICS of an engine! It simply adds feel and connection, while boosting power in rev ranges to your liking. A 450 will always feel like a 450 no matter what you do to it, and a 250 or 350 will do the same. Sounds like you don't modify your engines, and that's completely fine, but if you have no understanding on the topic, please don't try to belittle someone else who understands through their own hard work and hard-earned money?!?!? I was simply stating what RACING TEAMS AND PRIVATEERS do to their bikes for RACING - Heck, most vet racers do the same as I do - when you do the things I mentioned, one can actually ride their bike more easily during the race. Open up all rev ranges and the free feel, allow lugability, and set engine breaking to what feels best. Set the suspension and chassis to your liking, and use technology to get a better bike and experience from better billet linkages, to triple clamps, to engine mounts, to hardware...it all adds up and makes a difference. :) I understand not everyone likes fast/aggressive riding, but if one does enjoy the thrill and wants to push harder physically, mentally, and spiritually, then more than likely they will "fine tune their instruments" for the concert. Do you understand, now? Maybe he's not into building his bike too, but again, I have PLENTY of friends with modded Betas for racing that are ridiculously amazing with power, agility, handling etc. It's Italian made just like my TM! Of course, they are ALL amazing stock...but could they still be better tuned for each individual rider/racer??? The correct answer is a Yes! So don't be an arrogant human being and act superior, when the people with mechanical knowledge calls out your bologna sandwich that you are trying to serve here. Build people up, instead of constantly bashing others. You got serious social problems if you can't go one comment without being passive-aggresive and full of yourself. Go visit and a race shop/engine builder and find all the avenues of technology that are now available with both carbed and fuel injected dirt bikes! Enjoy it while it last - most manufacturers will stop making dirt bikes with internal combustion engines in year 2035.

[@jonathondavis170]

@Hilts You're right. I got to know a lot of people that were/are factory engine builders, and was hyped about how engines can be built, how they work, and how they're modified. General people don't need any of that...we all need more technique, skill, experience, and fitness. Although, I do have to say that those things do make such a difference if you've never rode one before...they're just so much easier to ride at speed. But you guys are right - I was wrong. I got too excited and passionate about the engineering behind changing engines...and even though performance goes up, durability/longevity goes down. I have a Red Moto CRF450RX with an engine builder and the intervals for rebuilds are decreased...that's not what you want out of a Beta unless you're on a Factory team, top Privateer, or extremely wealthy, and only race in fast paced races like Sprint Enduro, ISDE, GNCC etc. So I happily admit I was way off the mark back then.
