Congratulations on your resent acquisition! I picked up a 500 in 22 w/no regrets, and outfitted it for lite ADV duty. The stock 500 was good for about 85-90 miles (40 miles out and 40 miles back) w/OEM tank. I ride in the Rocky Mountains where it’s a bit further between fuel stops so the 5.2 gallon tank solved the fuel anxiety issue. Another amazing improvement was switching to a Warp9 Elite rim w/Cush Drive, it does an effective job of canceling the abrupt power on power off transitions. It does this w/out a rubbery/squishy feel. A night and day difference on those short highway connections. Enjoy your new ride!
Great looking bike. We ride the 300XC W make them street legal in VT and now that we can gas up at pump we can ride rough stuff and keep going. Much easer to pick! Good luck with new bike
Excellent choice! Definitely get a bigger tank, Beta’s are thirstier than KTM’s offerings. I have several friends in California that ride Beta’s and they all installed bigger tanks.
I just had serve down and they adjusted the heads...so yes....the owner said it's normal on these bikes so I'm trusting them....fun bike enjoy and thanks for commenting
"little bike" don't be fooled, that little bike will hurt you much quicker and more often than your big bike. Be safe out there. Work your way up to speed.

Thanks for insights....much appreciated....I'll be out doing the COBDR this July....
Nicely done. Great choice, Beta makes an amazing bike. I would love to have a 350 rrs to go along with my husky 501.
Thanks...after watching you and Ben run around on these dual sports....I had to jump in...🤣🤣!!!
Go for the beta! You haven't done a beta review for a while!

Thanks...that's what I was thinking..
Looking forward to this series. Thank you for your content.
Thank you
Very cool. I've ridden the 430 and I think it's a fantastic bike.
Awesome looking bike! I need to add a Beta to the garage!
Nice! Congratulations. Easier to pick up than a 1200 I'll bet!
You can say that...🤣🤣🤣...thanks!!!
Oh yeah...going to make me want an even smaller bike than my 701
is it necessary to re torque the head at 3 hrs on the beta 4 strokes? thanks i just bought the same bike

Oh I can't wait...Hahah...this is really going to be a journey..hahaha...thanks
Congrats.... go rip that thing. Its much easier to learn and practice "skills" on a small bike, it'll be good for your training.
Thanks...
I like your videos but you really have to work on saying ah ah ah ‘‘em ‘em ah and ah em .. less
Yes...agree...I cringe as well....definitely need to work on it....thanks
