We reckon it’s a clever marketing strategy to distinguish their bikes. Even if
they are legitimately a 430, that’s never stopped manufacturers in the past
from rounding off to the nearest 50 (i.e. Husky’s FE 501 is actually a 510.4cc,
which Kato calls a 500). Beta claimed its customers wanted lighter, more agile
bikes and the best way to achieve this was to produce an engine with a shorter
stroke and reduced reciprocating mass. “This was possible with minimal loss
of outright power and torque. So in 2015 a new set of smaller-capacity
engines was born; the RR390, RR430 and RR480,” Beta said.1234
