Hey Greg One of your older videos, but I just snapped up a leftover brand new 2023 Beta 350rr. Really looking forward to this bike. Coming off the YZ250FX, I think the extra grunt will be really nice for our PNW woods. BTW, loving your KTM 250xcf vids!
@@firffighter that’s a good find. The local Beta dealer here started selling Sherco a few years ago and it doesn’t look like they keep any Beta enduro models on the floor anymore. Too bad the brand doesn’t have better representation locally. The 250xcf has been amazing, I like that bike far more than I was expecting to.
When I did the demo day, I was by far the quickest and immediately comfortable on the 350 Race Edition. Just an awesome bike. I own/ride a 22 300 Race Edition and love that bike too, but I think I'd be a bit quicker on the 350.
Not really, it still flamed out. We were riding some slow technical terrain though. I'll be getting a lot more seat time on 4t's this year so that will help.
They’re all gonna flame out. Especially if you go from a 300 2t over. It’s about getting seat time and learning to prevent flame outs really. Unless you run a clutch weight or a Rekluse auto clutch. They’re definitely a lot more tiresome to ride in the tighter, more technical stuff. I’d take a 250 or 300 4t for that type stuff.
@@Drewski423 I have a 22 390 RE, came off of 300 2t for 10 plus years. The 390 doesn’t flame out any more than the 300s, even in the tight tech stuff. It’s obviously a bit heavier. No recluse, stock gearing. Great bike.
Very good video, well executed. The noise this Beta makes is sweet serenade.

That’s a awesome test/demo. Looked fun.

I watch a vid today, where they rated the Beta 390 the best 4 stroke !
Assuming we compare the race edition to the KTM 350XCF, is the Beta down on power?
350 vs 390? Engine braking,
This looks to be the 350RS with the Voyager dash and key.
Some other youtubers have said the betas don't flame out as often as the KTMs. Did that feel true on the 350?

Seemed like it might have been geared pretty tall.
Somewhat. It's more suited for faster, open trails for sure.
My 350exc stock gearing does seem better for the tight stuff.....I literally never flame out.
What are the strengths and weaknesses compared to the Sherco 300 SEF?
I'd still keep my kawasaki kx
I keep watching review videos but none have convinced me to replace my KLX450r.
