2021 BETA 200 RR R I D E R E V I E W P82 continually adjusts to engine rpm, is seemingly flawless. The bike rarely emits any noticeable "two-smoke" from the exhaust. Our test bikes showed no signs of oil drool whatsoever from the tip of the muffler. The 200 handles solidly and turns well; it's the perfect bike for tight and twisty trails, twistier the better. It's a quick-handling machine that is still very stable at speed over rough, flat ground. Suspension is good, but the fork is not as supple over the smaller chop and square edges as we'd have liked, but right out of the crate, it's acceptable. Beta says the fork needs at least four hours of good break-in time, and we were near that point when we handed the bike back to Beta, The 200, as you'd expect, is indeed very light and agile.
