I was curious if any 2024-2025 Beta 450RX owners have a long-term review on the bike? What's life like with one of these machines after 30-40-50 plus hours? Any suggestions for someone getting one of these now (besides what the magazines already covered)?

Naults has leftover 24s for 4999.00. I purchased one but only have 4 hours on It so far. Beta has emailed me service bulletins about mapping updates that are available so I thought that was pretty neat.

I only have a couple hours on mine, but so far so good.

I got mine re-mapped with the revised '25 update yesterday, and while I haven't got it out on the track (hopefully tomorrow or Sunday) I can tell you just from blipping the throttle on the stand that it is way snappier. When you cracked the throttle with the og '25 mapping it would be more of a rolling increase in rpm's, this new one just bangs.

I feel this bike at 16 hours is just breaking in and getting better every time I ride it. My '23 500RRS was the same way. At 20 hours or so it was perfect. Beta builds their bikes to last, that's for sure.

I am going to get mine done tomorrow!

The bikes look cool imo and all the media outlets seem to be pretty positive about the bike. Oldenburg and Bloss look great on them too. I saw the Triumph 450 at Chaparral the other week and that bike looked slim and awesome. Plenty of 450s to choose from nowadays.

Did you purchase from Naults and have it shipped to you?  That's a hell of a deal.

Linear with the meat of the power in the midrange.
