50cc engines in small and practical commuters may sound like the opposite of fun on two wheels. However, if you take that engine, and stuff it into a dual-sport or supermoto, you have yourself a recipe for a fun and rowdy machine—plus, one that's pretty approachable for beginners, too. This is exactly what Italian motorcycle manufacturer Beta had in mind when designing the RR 50, a bike which has just received a refresh for 2023.
Beta has a long history of making two-wheelers, with the brand finding its roots in the cycling world back at the dawn of the twentieth century. Its most notable creations hit the spotlight in the '80s, with the TR range of off-roaders. These days, Beta has become a household name in the enduro and motocross world, with some of the best riders in the world racing aboard Beta machinery. On the other end of the spectrum, Beta also caters to the grassroots level with models like the RR 50. For the 2023 model year, the pint-sized supermoto receives a bunch of updates. Let's dive right in, shall we?
