The RS line carries the same pedigree as Beta's RR X-Pro race bikes, making these the most off-road-worthy dual sports on the market — and they're 50-state street legal, so you can connect trails and ride to the trailhead on the same bike. Of the four RS engine sizes (350, 390, 430, and 500), the 500 is the best seller: a user-friendly engine with big torque and a lighter-than-expected feel, wrapped in a slim chassis that gives riders real confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOut-the-door: $11,899 plus applicable taxes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest-Selling 500 Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e477.5cc four-stroke single\u003c\/strong\u003e — liquid-cooled, 4-valve head with titanium intake and steel exhaust valves, plus a cooling fan for slow going.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEFI with dual injectors\u003c\/strong\u003e — 42mm throttle body for crisp fueling everywhere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-map ignition with on-demand traction control\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kokusan ignition, switchable maps and traction control integrated into the handlebar pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-speed transmission with O-ring chain final drive and a wet diaphragm-style clutch — light pull, progressive feel, built to handle the torque.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric start standard and a 200-watt high-output stator to run heated gear, GPS, and accessories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRace-Bred Chassis, Street Legal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew main frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — larger backbone tube reduces flex for a more stable feel; Xtrig Flexfix elastomer handlebar mounts cut vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSachs ZF 48mm open-cartridge fork\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable compression, rebound, and spring preload with no tools required.
