This bike is a very good alternative to a dual sport. Im looking at buying my first bike for day/camping trips and the only bike that fits the bill is the crf300L. A lot of owners are underwhelmed by the engine and suspension and end up throwing so much money at it with mods. I feel like the beta would be a great alternative with its acceptable service intervals. It sounds like you're very happy with your choice

Hi Josh Yes,very happy. Both the CRF300L and the Beta 390RR have their advantages .If you explore more on the road then the CRF might be the better choice but the Beta is far more capable off road with it's lighter weight and improved suspension .

[@JoshSinnott97]

Thank you. I'm starting to think that dual sports are a bit of a gimmick unless you're doing really big miles as when you get off road you end up making compromises with weight and suspension Regular oil changes don't bother me but it's the valve checks that are making me reluctant. Are you checking them every 30 hours?

[@Adventureswithdids]

Have only done 6hrs on the bike . Not sure how often your supposed to check the valve clearances. In my opinion as with most things, if it aint broke, don’t fix it,

[@JoshSinnott97]

Oh ok, I was under the impression that they need to be checked as often as the oil changes and is really the only thing holding me back as I'd prefer to be on top of maintenance than be up for a new engine. Hopefully for adventure riding you can push the maintenance even further

Hi Josh There are always compromises to be made.It all depends how much riding your doing on the tarmac and offroad. the beta for me is certainly more fun on the road with its more power and torque. i just need to put some Pirelli MT43s on so i can take part in the Long Distance Trials and it will make the bike slightly more comfortable on the road with also better handling.
