Y
ou have to give kudos to Beta. The Italian manufacturer from
Tuscan has without a doubt stepped up its game the past few
years. Their motorcycles have been getting better and better
with each new model year, they still put a lot of emphasis on two-
strokes, which we love to see, and they do a great job of filling niches
that need to be filled. Case in point—the 200cc two-stroke class.
This has been a category void of off-road motorcycles in the U.S.
market ever since KTM stopped production of its 200 XC-W after the
2016 model year. Beta saw this as an opportunity to step in and build
a 200 of its own and here it is, a bike we welcome with open arms.
Want the light weight
and pep of a 125 but
the torque of a 250?
The Beta 200 RR might
be the way to go.
NOW
WE'RE
TALKING!

IS ALL ABOUT
HAVING FUN—
