Any word on when the Beta 450 mx bike will hit the US market? I spoke to a dealer and he was unsure. I feel like a dealer would know if anyone knew lol but maybe some of yall have a stick!!

Dealers got this update last week. 
 

We are still on target to deliver the 2024 450RX in October or November. The bikes progression has been fantastic and there have been many changes to the production model vs the pre production you all rode at the dealer meeting. We will be releasing the final details in the next couple months.

When I put a deposit down on a 300 RX a few weeks back dealer wasn’t sure of deliver of 450 RX.   He guessed in of the year but again few weeks back.  Things may have changed.  If I recall he didn’t have one on order either.

Not sure if I’ve seen MSRP on a 450 RX either but haven’t looked in a while.

They haven’t opened orders yet to dealers,.  No MSRP has been given yet.  Typically they open orders to dealers and give MSRP when the bike is shown.

Has to have 300 or 400 bikes (can't remember which it is) in the USA before racing can happen. Would assume we see enough to hit that mark before Anaheim. So definitely before Anaheim. Don't have an inside source when the bike will be launched in the USA tho =/

It isn't 400 units before Anaheim. Can't remember the exact date but i think it's before March or something for the first few hundred

You're 100 percent correct. It's 200 units by Marxh 1st then another 200 units by June 1st.

Beta is real, they have a few seasons development in MXGP. They put out motorcycles that work great. And they use different frames versus one frame fits all.

I dont doubt that Beta will be able to produce a bike, they have built plenty of off road bikes.  My concern would be the logistics and delivery of the product?  I know they have plenty of dealers in the US (I have worked for a couple) but I cant recall ever seeing more then 5 (new and used Betas) at a single dealership at one time ever.

So Beta has a different setup with dealers than anyone else. Bikes are available to order from their warehouse. That's how the BYOB program works as well. Bikes are not floored in the usual way. That got turned on its ear somewhat during covid but its coming back now.
