Gladius Jon What!! Dude Derek, You and I need to link up and do Slades. We have a nice 20min circuit mapped out. Great content if we can all get together. 🤘🏻
@@Ron_C Right now im trying to keep the house show ready so I dont really have the space to tear down a bike. But I am available most sundays. I watched your video on the dualsport ride scheduled for spring. I might be interested if theres room to tag along.
@@GladiusJon I was joking about dropping it of....kinda..lol! I am not in charge of the invites, but I'll def drop your name in the mix! I'll hit you up in the coming months to see if you are avail to come over and beat on that TW.
what badass is he can ride that pace and have a normal conversation. I'm coming off 3 KX5's in a row this bike is the only way to go for me, the KTM is more maintenance than my KX's, the Husky would be my second. Third would be to find a mint XR400 and drop a couple grand on it...Roost
Hi ! Can you tell something about the traction control of beta 500 rrs ? I want to know if the throtle is still abrupt in rain mode. Can ABS be instaled from another motorcycle ? Do you know if the piston has 3 rings , as Honda CRF450L has ? How many HP in rain mode ?
Have you ridden a 500 ktm or husqvarna, or do you not consider them duel sports? Everything I've seen had glowing recommendations for the beta 390. And the 430 was substantially better handling than the beta 500 with comparable power. But the fe501 seems to handle a lot better than the 500 beta, and has a much flatter power curve.
Bradley Thomsen I have not gotten the chance to ride either yet. Although, I would imagine they are roughly similar to the beta. The 390 is one amazing bike to be honest. The only thing that I wonder about is reliability when compared to Ktm / husky.
Id love to get my hands on one. Local dealer wanted me to do a test ride and review. But they only had one in stock, so they contacted Corp. Corp does not want to loan any out.
I'm riding again Sunday but will concentrate more on 2T's as I am looking for a technical single track bike. Will ride the 4T's though. Based on how you rode in your videos I would say the 390 is the bike for you.
@@GladiusJon I do plan on riding the 390 again but I think I will concentrate more on the 300's; 300RR 300 RE and XTrainer. I do want to ride the 250 though just to see how well the counterbalancer works on it.
You looked slower on the 500 to me, i think that 390 is the ticket. I just got a 2019 300rr and I am loving it on single track, just not in love with the forks. Once I get the suspension done on it I think it will be my favorite bike. They come with a open title so I made my 300 street legal to.
Hell yea!!! I’m the thumbnail!!! What’s up fam 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Moto Mills thought you would like that haha!

My favorite Beta.
Klr and Dr don’t even belong in the same conversation!
Charles Lee agree, 30 year design differences.
Hell ride the thing and we will watch and listen to the bike. Your just in first gear
Nice review! You get to ride all the cool bikes!
Thanks! still havent decided which route to go.
@@GladiusJon So many good decisions! I need to either get you over here to look at that damn TW, or drop it off in your driveway to get it running.

I'd be sold if they made a 650 RR-S. I'm not much of a woods rider so I wouldn't mind a little extra weight.
Hell KLX and KLR 650 ain’t for shit anyways but I really am looking fwd to testing this bike soon.

Which model did you end up choosing to buy?

So do you say the Husky is a better bike?
Mind giving your height and weight?
It be great to see what you think of the crf450l

Gladius Jon have you ridden a ktm 350exc? Well that is what they are over here you can ride them on the road over here

Hell yea! I kinda regret not testing the 300 rr now.

@@GladiusJon And look at ya now !!
Jeff Loucks you said it best, ironic. Lol
Big bike for big guys.
Or guys that want to dual sport.

I bet that 500 would eat in a straight section though
I love when people run out of skills they blame the bike...
Seems like that bike isn’t that much fun to ride kn the woods. Maybe better somewhere else but I’d pass
