2014 Beta 300RR Weight 237 Lbs Plus Fuel
Dirt Bike Magazine just tested the 2014 Beta 300RR. They liked it except the suspension was soft. It weighed 237 pounds without fuel. With the 2.5 gallon tank full, the actual ride weight would be 252 pounds. So, its not the feather that everyone claimed it was. So the gassers only weigh about 8 pounds more.
In this issue there was a lot of Beta coverage of new models, I guess Beta gets a little extra attention bc of their full page ads in the mag.

My 2011 was about 238 empty with no armor other than the plastic skid plate.

Dirt Rider weighed the 2013 GasGas 300E full of fuel at 274 lbs iirc. In most places 274-252 = 22 lbs

A good friend of mine just got a new Beta a few weeks ago. It's a really nice bike and the motor is frigging beautiful. Very light feeling compared to my GasGas, both riding it and picking it up. But it has this big hole in the side of it that digs into your leg above your boot. No thanks. Just Ordered a new Sherco 250 2t. Test rode the 300 4t. Also a very light bike. That was a very nice riding 4t enduro bike. Felt like you were riding a 125 with way more power.

I will likely never know if I should have waited on the Sherco 2t. Fortunately I love my Beta. After 2011 GG just went the wrong way, for me anyway. Still the best forum out here, but the Beta and Sherco site are picking up steam.
