At the heart of the 2004 Beta Motard 4.0 super motard motorcycle, Beta utilizes a 349 cc (21.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 79.0 x 71.2 mm (3.1 x 2.8 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Motard 4.0 measures 133 kg (293 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 870 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,410 mm (55.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
