The downhill course is fun and thrilling. I'm happy to be your best channel friend. Have a nice day. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌

I got my 300 rr a couple of months ago and I love it.

Sick of watching guys just wizz around on tracks - Luv the review vids keep em coming :-)

Nice trails! Found your vid because I was offered a decent deal on a 21 300rr and know nothing about them.

Great review 👍 . I think the Beta has built a good name for itself despite the niggling issues. They are a good alternative to the pumpkins. Would love to see a review on the xtrainer if you ever get the opportunity.

I know a dealer that sold KTM, Husky & Beta. Moore & Sons in Santa Cruz Ca. He was there at least 25 years that I know of. He’s gone as of 2019. He said. KTM have more issue that are Warrenty/no Warrenty than beta. He says Betas never come back but KTM’s.. just shook his head. They need to resolve the turning radius thing but that’s about it. No. I wouldn’t buy a KTM

I would say that is a accurate review. I prefer my 2021 Beta 300rr compared to my 2019 300xcw tpi bike. As you say, it is a easy bike to ride in the single track. Like the lower seating height. The stock seat is probably the hardest seat I've ever sat on. I ended up buying a Seat Concepts seat that is also 5/8 of a inch lower.

Have you been able to determine any sort of range on the fuel? I ride very similar trails in the PNW and wondering if fuel is ever an issue?

Rode all the Beta range. I'm a KTM 300 owner too. Hated the Beta sachs suspension, under sprung and under damped. However loved the motor. Way more grunt out the box than the KTM bikes. The two was my favorite. More grunt that a stock KTM 300 I thought. Also thought the dimensions were to small. Beta need to start making their bikes 10% bigger. The size was a deal breaker for me.

I did the oil injection delete on my 2017 xtrainer last season. good change wouldn’t go back. You need to do the air box mod and jetting too. The seat concepts seat is also a great upgrade. Display failed and is now an aluminum panel with switches. I’m sending out forks for service and adding the compression adjustment kit.

My 06 300 EXC has a Keihin 36. I think they only went bigger when they went to Mikuni due to proprietary reasons, and the Mikuni never ran as nice as a Keihin.

I'd totally agree with the poor steering radius, have a 2021 300rr and this is my biggest gripe in how the bike rides so far. The motor is very tractable, makes technical sections a breeze. One thing i've found with the beta in comparison to my old yamaha was the general fit and finish is somewhat poorer. Stripped bolts, holes not tapped right the way through, leaking reeds, all from the factory. Also if you like to do things by the book the manual is trash compared to a japanese bike, absolute bare minimum of information, torque specs etc. The bike is mint to ride and I love it, but I feel the somewhat poor quality control is a letdown.

I agree on the CB for sure. I've been told that the more weight you put on the CB the more it reduces vibration but at a cost of bottom end power so Beta/Sherco may be trying to find a better balance of that. I think I still prefer the WP spring forks over the Sachs on the Beta.
