klx300r and beta300 motorcycle single track ride in Arizona

This is a continuation of some of the Arizona motorcycle single track video I recorded on 01.27 where my buddy Al and I rode 33 miles in the beautiful mountains of Arizona. The video starts off with my thinking I can get enough speed in the loose rocks at the bottom of a hill with a short run and I didn't end up cleaning the hill but I managed to get up it. I'm riding a Kawasaki KLX300r and my buddy Al is on a Beta300. We're lucky to have many miles of motorcycle trails like this.

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.

@@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.
