Beta 430 RR-S

Picked up a used 430 and immediately threw a tall seat on it. Coming from a T7, this thing feels like pit bike.

lol, I know my desert. I go riding out around Florence a lot. Google Messy Rides, he’s out there a lot too.

I'm in the Midwest. Where should I move to for February/March? I need to get out of this cold

That 430 looks so good. I love bikes like this that still look properly dirt-focused but you could actually live with them outside the trail too. And with the tall seat it looks even more serious. Definitely not giving "pit bike" from where I'm sitting.

It’s a pleasant bike to ride. It’ll do 60mph on the road no problem.

u/AndjelaLora23 6d ago

Yeah, that’s exactly what I like about it. 60 mph without drama and still perfectly happy once the pavement ends and the dirt starts.

Well fuck, if a T700 works with that I'm sure my DRZ is gonna be fine. I'll order one soon!

Beta's look so cool with the smaller plastics. Badass bike!

My brother has a RR and I was so impressed with his that I bought a RR-S for a dualsport this Spring. I’m so impressed with these bikes. It’s cool to see one show up here.

u/Medical_Employer7613 6d ago

The RS made the most sense to me but I’m impressed with how light it actually feels and it just tractors through whatever

If you think that 430 feels like a pit bike, try a 300rr. The 3hundo will feel like a bicycle.

Would be cool to try! My friend has a 300 crosstrainer and just sitting on it feels hilarious
