There's an upcoming Dirt Rider review of the 450, but basically the preview is that this year's RSs are RRs with GPS and street gearing. They'll be solid ...

2014 450rs beta
I bought the new 2104 450RS through AM-Beta, BYOB program. Optioned it with springs/rad gaurds/gearing/big tank. Got 600 DS miles on it , fricking thing rips!!!!! Plenty of punch, nice suspension with the Sachs front/rear. GPS is nice!
Electric starter is perfect. Very nimble in super tight singletrack.
It took 350 miles to somewhat loosen up. They set the motors tight. Should last a long time.
Ok for the not so good...... The seat sucks, I mean padded 4x4!!!!
Changed that with a GUTS seat pad under the oem cover. Added the beta rack too!
I hated the orange DS machines and have owned 4 other brands of DS machines, this is THE best !!!

Yep bout the same. Except the Yam is much taller and in pickin through the nasties I like the 36" seat height of the Beta
And the Yam is not street legal in Kali forniA. The Beta is....
Oh yeah I installed the Rekluse core exp, sure makes it nice on the tight deer trails....
It rides like a trials bike on the trails, front end does not wanna push no matter what I do. I mean really steer's nice.
Rock on!

The WR is green sticker legal in "Kalifornia." See the February issue of Dirt Bike Magazine.
Hiding under a rock?
Yes Beta RS version is the exact same bike as the crazed race winning enduro bike, motor wise/suspension wise/frame wise even the carb has the same jetting as the full blown RR-enduro version................ Just an extra 5 lbs for the street legal crap.....
a titled incredible enduro bike that will idle up any nasty singletrack or blast the desert with full power!!!!! Oh yeah and idle home on the roads totally legal.....
Enjoy!!! I am!!!!!!

Hiding? Nah.
I live under a big two-stroke rock that limits my interest in the 4-stroke world.
Living in AZ where I can get a license plate for my lawn mower has limited my interest in true off road bikes that are 50 state street-legal. However, the significance of the Beta is not lost on me.
I was primarily commenting on the interjection of the green sticker eligible WR into a street legal discussion.
