Built around Beta's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2008 Beta RR 50 Racing Motard features a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RR 50 Racing Motard measures 85 kg (187 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,325 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
