RR200
Jeez, I liked this bike. Anyone who rode say
a Gas Gas EC200 all those years ago will
recall when a 200cc two-stroke enduro could
be a torquey, easy-going thing. This RR200
is very much like that. Beta didn’t have any
specific updates mentioned, although it
would seem all the two-strokes got revised
crankshafts with new inertia values (and
improved lubrication) so maybe it’s that
which is enhancing the torqueyness (is that
a word?). It’s a mini-me to the RR300, in a
fashion, and definitely a neat clubman bike,
and so light and rideable it does make the
slower clubman rider question whether a 250
four-stroke is the right choice after all. An
easy bike to boss, and not one to go feral on
you if you accidentally throw in some whiskey
throttle.
