Overview

Introducing the 2008 Beta RR 50 Motard, a thrilling entry into the world of super motard motorcycles that perfectly blends agility and style. With its compact frame and lightweight build, this bike is designed for urban riders who crave the excitement of navigating city streets as well as the thrill of tackling twisty backroads. The RR 50 Motard stands out in the market for its unique combination of performance and practicality, making it an ideal choice for both newcomers to the riding scene and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a fun, manageable ride. At the heart of the RR 50 Motard is a spirited 49.7cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, delivering a punchy performance that belies its size. With a compression ratio of 12.0:1 and a bore-stroke ratio of 40.3 x 39.0 mm, this engine provides lively acceleration and a rewarding power band, making it perfect for quick bursts and agile maneuvering. The liquid-cooled setup ensures consistent performance, while the 6-speed gearbox paired with a wet multi-disc clutch allows for smooth gear transitions, giving riders the confidence to tackle any situation. Whether you're zipping between traffic or carving corners, the RR 50 Motard promises an engaging and responsive riding experience. The motorcycle is equipped with features that enhance both performance and comfort. The steel double cradle frame provides excellent rigidity while keeping the weight down to a mere 85 kg (187.4 pounds), contributing to its nimble handling. The hydraulic front fork with a 36 mm shaft and adjustable monoshock rear suspension ensure that the bike remains stable and comfortable over various terrains, with travel lengths of 230 mm and 285 mm respectively. Stopping power is reliable, courtesy of the 260 mm front and 220 mm rear disc brakes. With a fuel capacity of 6.0 liters (1.59 gallons), you can enjoy longer rides without frequent stops, and the generous ground clearance of 355 mm allows you to tackle obstacles with ease. **
