- Why would you BUY a Beta Motorcycle?
My name is Luke and I travel the country riding my motorcycle in some of the best places New Zealand has to offer.
So I have done something different this time let me know if you guys want more of this style.
With the Beta 200 RR motorcycle, you'll enjoy the ultimate in both power and performance. Engineered with a liquid cooled, 2-stroke engine with electric start, the Beta 200 RR motorcycle is designed for riders who are serious about performance. The 200rr is a legend. But it's not about nostalgia, or racing, or being one of the fastest bikes in the world. It's about being an icon. Attainable only by the few. Built to change history.
My Beta 200RR has now done 10 hours and I haven't even raced it :( I am absolutely loving this bike if you after one here is a couple of my points on it.
You can find me at most events in the north island.
If you want to find out more about these events jump down to the link below.
you can find me on social media below for more New Zealand motocross!

Thanks man was just something I did quickly! Glad ya liked its buddy 😁😁🤙🤙
Great review can't wait to see some races with it 🙌✊✊💨
Cheers man!! Me too hopefully soon!!
love that dog strait creeping on the Beta!! shout from nyc mate!!
🤣🤣🤣 that's moose he's my littlw mascot 😆
Great review of an awesome bike mate!
😁😁😁 thanks mate!! Ywa 10 hours but no racing 😓😓
I bought a Beta RR 200 2020 from WP this year. I absolutely love the bike - I've never had so much fun on a dirtbike before. It's light, nimble, forgiving, powerful, great on the technical and boosting on the flats. I had a mental picture of how I wanted to feel on a bike, and the Beta ticked every box.
Dude that is awesome!! yea mate they are one hell of a bike, I am building mine at looking at getting a APX head for it to give better lugging power. have you played with the sprockets yet?
Awesome, that'll be crazy. I haven't made any adjustments yet. I've been kicking around on a YZ250 prior, so this is a huuuuuuuuge upgrade already. After a few dozen hours I think I'll have a clearer picture of any adjustments that might be needed.
@@schectermf350 nice man! What sort of riding are you going to do on the bike? Harder stuff or more your normal enduro/xcountry?
Just trail rides! Getting too old for MX (bones aren't rubber anymore). Wellington has some good casual riding in the Akatarawa Forest Park, so making good use of that regularly! WBU?
@@schectermf350 oh shit nice man!! Looks like wellington is the place to ride nowadays. I need to head down there for a 2 week road trip hahah and just go riding everywhere
Need to get out of the paddock Luke.
My Sherco 250 runs with a stock 13/49 and for tight stuff I have a 13/51 with the original Michelin tyre mounted. Worked really well in the sand at Bowen!
Still in lock down! 🤦♂️🤣 can't leave the paddock yet and I grew up in sand no need for special tyres hahaha
Subscribed I got the 300rr today can't wait for weekend with my buddy's
That's awesome man!! Where abouts are you from?
@@LosSquid I'm in South Wales great Britain what about yourself
@@1991enduro nice man!! Did you get the factory edition? I'm based in New zealand
Ohs yeas sirs, I´m getting my 2020 200RR in two weeks! Thankfully, since I´ve prolly seen all 200rr videos on youtube by now.
😂😂 they are awesome little bikes man! I love mine they are so underrated.
@@LosSquid Well pat yourself on the back, since your videos are the best I´ve seen. Riding it to the max and also showing how fast it can be ridden. Thanks for this analysis aswell. Just goes to show, I chose the exact right next bike after my Xtrainer.
Cool videos boss! What do you reckon about one of these for a 6'5 100kg beginner looking to get into enduro/trail/xc? Or would you recommend something else? (I saw you froth the KTM 350XCF in a recent video)
Hey thanks dude appreciate ya watching my vid 🤙😁 oh man don’t even bother looking at this if ya 6.5Foot it’s way to small for you! The 200 is a smaller frame that KTM so for you I’d just say no. How beginner are you? Yea man I absolutely loved the 350 xcf 💪💪 such a good daym bike
@@LosSquid Oh sick, cheers for the response! I'm full beginner in terms of dirt bikes, never ridden anything motorised. But I do come from a mountain bike racing background, which may be somewhat helpful (no idea actually..)
@@Stomperproductions oh man if you can race downhill you will pick up moto easy as mate!! Maybe look at a KTM 250 2 stroke exc at least you can turn down the power valve for a bit until you get use to riding a dirtbike. You will pick up skills really fast so I wouldn’t really stick you on a beginner’s bike.
@@LosSquid so 2 stroke as opposed to 4? (I have watched your 2vs4T video). Would a 250 2T be more suitable than a 350 4T for trail/xc/enduro? And 300 2T just too much jungle juice for my noob wrists?
15/49 is what comes stock in the US, I ran a 14 for a long time but to my surprise I ended up liking the 15 better as it let me use 1st gear more often (slow technical tracks) I also tried a 13 but it was way too low.
I believe you mean 14?
Na they come out here stock with a 15 as well. I like the 14 but want to try 13 for the really slow harder stuff. 15 just makes you hard wearing on the clutch which I kinda want to avoid a but more on some hills
@@LosSquid 14 is probably the ticket, but try the 13 since it's inexpensive and simple to swap. For me it was way too low. I really liked the 14 and just for the heck of it I threw the 15 back on one day and was surprised how much better it let the bike "flow" but I ride 90% slow technical trail.
Yea I liked the 15 as well but when we have huge hills and run up the 13 I think would b3 best l. For our nationals ill 4un the 14 or 15T 100% they both feel dam good. Are you on a 200 as well? Do you race much?
@@LosSquid Do you think running the 14t would allow you to mainly use 2nd gear for most hills and for starting out from a stop? and use 1st for really steep hills only? Or does the 200 not work this way? Thanks for posting the video.
15t or 14t front sprocket for hard enduro ?
13T is probably the best I just out a 13T on today and so much better!! I'd run the 14T for GNCC style racing for sure
Nice bike I ordered a 300xt in July and won't get it till possibly April that's the only thing I have against Beta.
Hey mate where abouts are you from? Yea long lead times at and it's not just Beta that have issues it's all manufacturers atm unfortunately. I'm super keen to have a go on the 300xt they seem like pretty darn cool bikes.
You will love it
I bought a 2022 300 xtrainer for my wife
She hated the first two bikes I bought her ( Kawasaki , Yamaha ) but is head over heals in love with it
I love it too but I’m 6’1” 220 so I’m too big for the xtrainer
I found that dropping gearing too low can effect how a bike turns for some reason. But it has to be "too low"
That’s weird it really has no effect on turning hahaha maybe cause the power comes on earlier it’s pulling the bike upwards rather than letting it roll through corners
21kx 250 xc looking at a new bike most likely Beta 200 or 250 which would you recommend
Hey man where are you based what sort of riding are you doing?
@@LosSquid just trail riding the odd xc race down in the mighty taranaki mate
only 5ft.4 my kx250 had lowering link also
Get the 200 then man! Absolutely perfect for ya! Smaller frame really good for the harder tracks they have but you will need to swap stock front sprocket to a 13 or 14 they come with 15.
thanks mate this has made my decision 200 it is! @@LosSquid
How about reability and maintenance??
They are the same as every other brand man just depends on the dealer network and if your distributor is any good!
Must be a kx thing. Same thing happened to me on my kx450f. Chain snapped and left a hole in my case.
😭😭😭 dang dude that sucks!!
Is that not a race edition? KYB, gripper seat, anodized rear sprocket, etc…
yes that is the race edition.
@@LosSquid Awesome. Picking mine up next week. I have a new XTrainer and love it. Will be a nice stable mate.
Is the top end hard to find?
What do you mean?
@@LosSquid try to rebuild my top end. I can't find a piston kit around my area. Thanks ahead.
@@vinzdukyo1320 oh weird man I have had no issues where abouts are you from?
Looking at Beta to upgrade from my KLX 300r. Jumping to the 200-250 to much? I've been riding almost two years, and the guys I ride with say it's time to upgrade.
Hey man a 200 would be perfect for ya!! 250 might be a bit much atm. You will learn better skills on the 200 as well mate! Where abouts are you based?
@@LosSquid Thanks for the suggestion! I'm in the United States. Most of my riding has been through some pretty rough trails and singletrack. I rode my bros 350rr quite a bit today and that sold me on Beta. Very awesome bikes.
@@coltonowens2742 beta as a company is awesome mate!! The 200rr is very capable of hard enduro riding. Just remember they have no engine braking so will feel the free flow alot more.
@@LosSquid Yeah man, you've sold me on the 200rr. Even in it's stock form, it makes more power then I'll ever need. Riding season is about over were I'm at. Gonna save and hopefully pick up my new bike come beginning of next season. Dirtbikes are so much fun man, can't get enough of them.
@@coltonowens2742 dude thats epic!! Yea mate when ya riding your mind is free!! So you only ride during summer where you are based?
hi. why did you get 200 instead of 250/ 300.
Hey mate I got the 200 because I run the xc3 class in GNCC and nationals so we are up to 200cc here in NZ. We also don't get the altitude in NZ like the rest of the world so we kinda don't need anymore.
Riding gnarly single track ain’t about overall CC’s . It’s about the bikes mountain bike feel and weight. Thing lugs like a Billy goat. Plenty of power for the woods / enduro !!!!
@@RENN477 💯💯 mate they only reason people have the 300 in the likes of Romanian is because of altitude. The 200 would loose so much power up there
How many miles can you get out of a full tank of gas?
I don’t actually know man! Probably like 1.30hours
Does it have electric start?
Yes sir it does.
@@LosSquid Nice! That would be the number 1 thing for me probably. Not that I can't start any bike with a kick start, but it'd be a very nice convenience. Did they remove the kicker option completely for backup though?
@@geopioneergsxr5357 oh bugger man why is that? From a injury? And yea kick start isn't there but you can add it on super easy.
@@LosSquid I said I CAN start any bike with a kick start. Lol The convenience would be nice though. Thanks for the info
@@geopioneergsxr5357 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 whoops read it too fast hahahah 😆 yea I'll get a kick start
Stop making me wanna get a beta for my next bike🤣🤣🤣
Do it 🤣🤣🤣 why would ya not!!!
@@LosSquid if beta made motorcross bikes I would get one, but I don't really like enduro two strokes because when u don't use the powerband their more like a 4 stroke
@@LosSquid it is an option for me right now
@@liamwilson1948 hahaha that's just a power valve change man you can make them more aggressive. 😂 beta actually do make a mx bike it's called the RX New Zealand just doesn't get them yet.
@@LosSquidwow someone's been doing their research😂😂😂.
When we get the mx bikes I'll look into em lol
what the little dudes name?
My dog?
@@LosSquid yes, you think I was calling your Beta "Little Dude"?
Stock suspension is brutal, specifically rear end.
What do you mean? Too hard? I actually find it pretty good and soft. How much do you weigh?
Why buy anything if you really think about it?
What else are you going to do?
Haha reason number 1 *continues to pop wheeles* reason number 2 *rides across with moose on the bike* haha love it also great video explaining the beta👌
Hahah cheers Matt!!
