favourite person to watch atm, you’re a great bloke and a great rider

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for the kind words Cooper, I greatly appreciate it!

[@BrandonBigB956]

The 200s are great bikes. I had a KTM200 for a couple of years and that bike just plain worked. Sold it after destroying my ankle and not being able to ride for a couple of years. Just picked up a new KTM300 yesterday. I like to lug a bike and the 300 just lugs way better than the 200 did and its only a couple of pounds heavier than the 200. I can say the 200 made me a better rider.

[@robert.gerrie5088]

Rode 4 different bikes at a Beta demo day,Xtrainer ,200rr,250rr and a 300 Race Edition recently. I really liked the 200rr best, noticed a big difference in the 2 maps and a little smaller chassis fit me best. Other 3 bikes I didn’t notice much difference in there maps.I liked it enough I ordered a 2023 200rr.Should get it sometime in August, can’t wait!!!

[@DerekHallman]

200rr was a really sweet bike! I think my favorite from the demo was the 350RE

[@whitetrashgarage8110]

How do you like your bike? I'm picking one up in May!

[@ryan_400x4]

Nice Video Derek! I love the Betas!

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks dude! I really enjoyed riding the Betas too

[@jonathondavis170]

I love the Beta bikes - actually ALL Italian motorcycles! lol I personally own a new TM Racing EN300ES 2t, but I'm planning on either buying a 2022 Honda CRF450RX or a 2022 Yamaha YZ450FX for a big bore four stroke...then later down the line I'm gonna buy that new Yamaha YZ250 and then purchase/install a BRC YZM500 engine that was just released in July! Love all these bikes nowadays...would love another TM Racing 2022 platform, but they are so expensive to get dialed as opposed to a Yamaha or Honda...meaning, I don't like stock engine or suspension so always get them rebuilt to higher performance specifications! :) You are rocking on all of these bikes! Keep up the good work, bud!

[@Jthumper]

I love the demo days, was really leaning towards this bike but the 390rs stole my heart, and its legal to ride off the trails too!

[@tcrides2137]

That bike is awesome, I like the idea of it for woods ripping.

[@mcsbikelife3829]

If they only would put kyb all the way around , I almost bought the race edition this year but sachs shock kills it. I went with the 22 ktm , first time off kyb since 09 .

[@DerekHallman]

Which ktm did you go for? Have you been riding Yamahas?

[@TomHerk]

The Sachs shock preforms great and is designed really well. It is of the same caliber as a KYB or WP shock. 9/10 times the suspension function comes down to the tuner and a good bike set up (sag/fork height). If anything, Yamaha has the best out of the box set up. All riders have their own preference.

[@EinSteinerEnduro]

@@TomHerk sup tom

[@dalepellerin]

For singletrack woods and enduro the Sachs shocks perform better than the KYBs, thus why they’re on the standard rr enduro models and not on the race models. Love KYB shocks but for the type of enduro riding I do, I wanted a more enduro grade plush suspension than a tighter race suspension.

[@bluegrassbassing3790]

Audio quality 5000/10

[@Jackson-ft9vs]

3:59 i thought he was gonna fly into that tree haha

[@woodsrider117]

Getting this bike soon. This kind of verifies why I wanted one. I have other sachs suspension Betas and I like it and have had no problems. Race edition kyb’s are going to be valved stiffer . Thanks for the vid.

[@woodsrider117]

Also the shock on the race edition is a Sachs I believe.

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching dude! I was riding all the bikes back-to-back so when I would hop off the race edition with KYB forks onto a standard fork it just didn't feel as nice. It wasn't bad by any means, but when you ride the two different forks back-to-back you can feel the differences 🙂

[@NoahY500]

Awesome video I enjoy them to pass time I ride a 125 but we haven’t picked it up from the dealer ship yet but we will soon

[@Hasangurbiyikli]

This thing is sick

[@fristytron]

Good Lord please, bring the MX version of this gem.

[@DerekHallman]

That would be pretty sweet to see it in MX version!

[@jamesking4225]

300 rx is the only Mx bike beta has right now

[@jracer815]

For a new rider would the 200rr be ok rather than the 200rr race ?

[@yaitstac7267]

Wish betas would come to New York

[@jakehoskins8475]

After trying that CRF250R out a little while back, what are you thinking you next bike will be? Obviously one of the Betas you've been testing would work best in the woods, but motocross bikes are so much lighter and snappier. You seemed pretty comfy on the Honda though :)

[@mr_goutpa7012]

I think he should get a crf250rx it’s for track and trail I have one use it for both and love it

[@Nolimitjacob007]

I like betas but the suspension just doesn’t feel that great to me

[@DerekHallman]

Have you ridden the KYB on the REs?

[@derhaddi]

*love these bikes! i also drive a beta on my channel!*

[@freeriiiiide]

Ive been waiting for you to test this one specifically. As an enduro style rider i was debating between this and our 150s. I picked our 150 because of the weight difference on paper. Were you able to notice that at all? That might just come into play on very hard terrain. Thought it was worth sacrificing the extra low end torque.

[@DerekHallman]

This 200rr felt a little bit heavier than the 150sx but not enough to say "damn this thing is heavy!" The 200RR had wayyyyy more usable torque and that was very nice. I will say though, my 150SX pulls way harder midrange and up top than the Beta. Feels night and day more powerful. When I'm full on the throttle and have decent traction, its hard to keep the front wheel of the 150sx on the ground.

[@freeriiiiide]

@@DerekHallman ok i feel like i made the right choice then. That super violent power is part of what makes the 150s so fun and rewarding to ride when you do it right. Also i do take my 150xc on motocross tracks a decent amount and thats really where the 200 would feel "underpowered" compared to the 150 not that i could ride the 200 to its full potential anyway 😂

[@Doors4299]

Is this a good bike for someone who’s a complete beginner? I have 0 experience riding any sort of motorcycle.

[@RoyFabian]

How would you compare your ride on the 200rr to the xtrainer?

[@DerekHallman]

xtrainer felt like a smaller bike with loads of torque and a smooth easy-to-use power curve. The 200rr has torque but also has the classic two stroke snappy power curve. Both felt easy to maneuver through the trees.

[@christopherbrown1183]

Fun day

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching Christopher 😁

[@christopherbrown1183]

Great day bro

[@pearce2627]

When you get a chance can you do a test/review on the Suzuki RMZ 250 please

[@DerekHallman]

I used to have a 2014 RMZ250 and it was a great bike. If I have the opportunity to ride a newer RMZ250 I definitely will make a review video for it 👍

[@shawnholt4429]

If u ever see me u can come and say hi I go with oldskool

[@noahmelsom5750]

Would you ever consider buying one and if not why?

[@SkinnySkinch]

Dude I really really want to buy a Beta 200rr. I love my TE150 but I just need a little bit more oomph. Im just worried I wont like how it handles as much. I have never liked how a bike turned as much as this TE150. My local dealer has a 23 200rr in stock right now. Ugh lol it sounds so good too

[@DerekHallman]

The 200rr definitely has more torque/grunt down low than the 150 but I think my KTM 150 pulls harder in higher rpm (I have a 2019 ktm150sx). I really liked how the Beta handled and felt comfortable pretty much immediately, but I definitely prefer the race edition KYB forks instead of the standard forks. We are planning another Beta demo day in January I believe if you want to come out and test ride them 🤙

[@SkinnySkinch]

@@DerekHallman where is the demo day at? I think NCMP is doing a beta demo day in December. I’m surprised to hear the 150 pulls harder on top. But I had a 2018 TE150 that was way stronger bottom and mid range than my 2022 te150i. The carb bikes just pull harder I guess. Kinda sucks wish TPI was stronger.

[@DerekHallman]

@@SkinnySkinch oh sweet I didn't know about the one at NCMP I'll definitely go to that! Will you be there? The one I'm talking about will be at Commonwealth Motorsports in Gloucester.

[@SkinnySkinch]

@@DerekHallman I think so I really want to ride a 200rr before I pull the trigger on an entirely new brand. Been on KTM husky for last 6 or 7 years. It’s gonna be weird

[@carrieesopenko407]

I like your video I have a ktm 150xcw and considering the Beta200 sounds like I would be getting that torque I am looking for.

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching Carrie! The beta200 definitely felt like it had more torque than my 150sx.

[@box800ru]

Nice

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@sptnk87]

How do your compare it to your 150? I'm on the 300rr atm but don't like the sachs front suspension. It's for sale and I'm looking hard at the 150 with the aer forks. Seems so good for both mx and enduro with the aer suspension and the light weight of the bike. 300s are cool but not that flikable rly. Very planted and slot of power.

[@DerekHallman]

So the Beta 200RR compared to my 150SX - The 200rr felt a little bit heavier than the 150sx but not enough to say "damn this thing is heavy!" it still felt very flickable. The 200RR has wayyyyy more usable torque and that is very nice to have. I will say though, my 150SX pulls way harder midrange and up top than the Beta. Feels night and day more powerful. When I'm full on the throttle and have decent traction, its hard to keep the front wheel of the 150sx on the ground. Suspension on both bikes is fine. I think I like the race edition KYBs better than the AER48 I have.

[@sptnk87]

@@DerekHallman thanks for your reply and input. Same as you I wish the 200rr came with kybs. So thinking I'm going with the 150sx. Seems to have so good weight to power ratio. Really like the idea of aer forks, easy to adjust for your riding. Enduro or mx! Keep em good videos coming.

[@marksamblebe4432]

Just like and subbed.

[@Drewskii55]

What would you choose? 250rr or 200rr

[@DerekHallman]

I'd choose the 250. The 250 has more usable torque and is easier to ride smooth and fast at a lower rpm through single track.

You have a 150 now would your next bike be a 200rr race edition or a 250r? I have a 150 tpi now I want to go to a beta I like the light feel of the 150 but I shift a lot would there be less shifting on the beta 200 vs 150 or do you have to go to the 250 pay the price on flickeabity?

No, you made no mistake!

[@jayryan7473]

Did you seriously put a deposit down before riding it? If there is any vibration just deal with it because it is one sweet machine.

[@mudpup545]

Personally, I only noticed the vibration during the first couple of rides out on it. Maybe noticed it more because I was coming off a 250 four stroke after 9 years. In my case, I definitely get less arm pump and feel like I’m not gripping the bike as tight. The 200 is so light and maneuverable. Definitely not lacking in torque.
