klx300r and beta300 motorcycle single track ride in Arizona

[@msims1250]

Looks like some fun riding! I just know I would target fixate on a cactus and straddle one 😆 Great video!

[@skimming.slipstreams]

Looks like some steeps...up and down...with cactus...and rocks...lots of them! 🪨😳☠🌵

[@jasonwood9465]

Nice trails! We have similar in Nee Mexico without the Saguaros! What tire combo? Tubes? Mousse? Would love to ride your trails and host in New Mexico if you ever come this way!

[@Monkeybutt_ADV]

My current tire combo I'm running is a Tusk Recon in the rear and a Bridgestone X30 on the rear with bibs in both. Let me know if you plan on coming out this way because we can show you around.

One of my favorite trails at the MM’s. 👍

[@Monkeybutt_ADV]

How’s the weight on the 300R for single track and the more enduro-y sections?

[@Monkeybutt_ADV]

I don't find it too bad, I feel it in the whoops and mainly when you have to pick it up if it gets dropped. Supposedly the early 2000's KLX 300's weigh around 230. I'm 6' 210lbs and that probably helps, someone who weighs 150 may feel it a bit more. It's been a fun bike, I picked it up because I found a sweetheart deal on it.

[@badcompany1313]

@@Monkeybutt_ADV nice, I’m really tempted to buy one after trying for weeks to find a clean enough 300 2 stroke in my $4500 price range. Everything is either too old or really clapped out with 600+ hours. Found a 2022 with less than 50 hours for $3900 which seems reasonable. I’m 185 so it might not be the easiest but used to ride an xr400 which I loved. I was suprised to find this weighed more than the xr400 though lol

[@Monkeybutt_ADV]

@@badcompany1313 Yeah, that's a tough price range for a 300 because they are so pricey. You know, a YZ250 may be a great compromise, I just saw a 2017 with low hours for something like 3k, you may be able to find one near or a reasonable driving range. Their motors are super strong, they have a modern chassis and handle great. Throw on a desert tank, skid plate, handguards and it may be good to go.
