Agreed! I kinda did the same thing when I rode it. You can lug it really low and not have to worry about it coughing on you. It is so smooth also. Really deceiving speed.
I have the opportunity to have both and the wife is good with it, so I'll take it. It is always a compromise. Ex mid-pack +40/50A mxer gone to off road. I went with a FX350 a few years back because I came off of Suzuki 450 4-strokes for mx and wanted to downsize since we have pretty tight trails here in eastern PA. A 450 is just asking for overheating and flame-outs. I thought 350 since I heard they were a little more docile and wanted to stay with a 4-stroke. The FX was awesome for open areas and flowing trails but not tight stuff. It is really made for west-coast scrambles and desert. I tried to make it work but it wants to rev and go fast! You can do 100+mph with stock gearing. Had to get something that is built for the crap we ride in. Beta 300, here we go. Been awesome so far!
Herb, did you start with an RR or RX.
RR race edition. Found a 2021 1/2 with about 1 hour on it.

If you really wanted more opportunities to ride a Beta you would go to the Beta Demo rides. Not the sharpest tool.
Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
Awesome bike. From the previous picture I was going to ask if you covered/painted the tank, but I see it is a CMT carbon! Never liked the clear tanks for moto. Was the CMT tank long lead time and/or custom build?
Awesome bike…
… front fender sticks up a little too much in the front
A couple of washers in the front fender mounts and it’s perfect. 👍
They just came out with this 2025 only. Looks nice.
Parts take a little while to get, not to bad. Freight sucks. Gotta order over, I think $300 for free freight.

I’m really considering a Beta RE. I just don’t know if I should go with a 390 or 300. I’m on a 2022 KTM 300xc now, I do a little bit of hard enduro type riding with friends and also race some offroad events throughout the year in Open A or Vet A.
I plan on doing a demo day next month so hopefully I get some clarity for myself. It’s gonna suck if they don’t have both bikes in the race edition though. Anyone with experience on both? I’m wondering if the 390 will be a little easier to ride and may even be a little faster on it. I’ve had KTM branded 300’s for about 10 years now and just can’t get super comfortable on them for some reason.
Check out the 3SeasRecreation channel on YouTube. They have several videos with good comments from the early 2025 dealer meeting in California.
I really want a 300 RX, but after listening to them rave about the 200 RRX-Pro I'm having some second thoughts. 😎
Thanks, I’ll definitely check it out!
I’m trying to imagine a crash that leads to a bike catching on fire. Electrical short , ruptured fuel tank , header laying on dry grass, arson ? Idk. None of it makes sense.
That 300RX has got to be the sweetest looking bike made imo. But I think it was a 3 Seas video I watched they said it’s ALOT. As much as I want to plug my ears and not hear that, they’re probably right. 390 felt like you could ride it all day and it never get away from you. It lugged around really well in tight stuff too. These guys in here have me looking for a 430 though.
He must have been a new rider. He got himself on the side of a wooded hill on a tight off-camber corner and fell over. He must have either knocked the gas cap off or he tore the fuel line off and the gas got on the hot engine or pipe. My son and I were changing into our gear when the fire trucks, police, and an ambulance showed up. Had no clue what was going on until the promoter told us that we would be having a delay in our start time. He mentioned that some guy caught the 480 on fire and almost took the woods along with it. Never saw anything like it.
This one? (Keihin carb 👍)
That's the one! Currently number 2 on my list 🙂
Cullins? Do you have a son that was Beta sponsored for a while? Ty?
Pit Row
Thanks, I appreciate the advice 😎
Do you have any experience on the 350 and 390? I’m curious the difference in power delivery between the two…how does the long stoke motor on the 390 feel compared to the 350?
