Upstate Cycle

Upstate Cycle had a thrilling start to its day, as our good friend Tony made the trip back down to see us from those awesome Virginia mountains! Tony had his heart set on not one, but two of Beta's newest and very impressive race models! He chose the potent "2026" Beta 350RX, as well as the powerful "2025" 450RC! He definitely got the best of both worlds with this top of the class duo, mixing raw 2-stroke power with smooth 4-stroke power delivery, for a combo like no other! Tony's no stranger to two wheels ever since his dad surprised him and his brothers with a Honda XL70 back in the early 70's. That sparked his love for the trail, and over the years he moved up to multiple different bikes such as a MR175, XR200, KDX200, DR350, and even a couple of Husky's he got from us way back when! Even though back in "1986" he was in a freak car accident, where he was thrown out the rear window and given slim chances of having a normal life. But he jumped back on two wheels and hasn't stopped since! You've got two incredible new rides Tony! Glad to see you still with the team! We will see ya on the trail!

One of Upstate Cycles good customers, "Ken", from those magnificent mountains of N.C., was looking for the new redesigned GPX 300FSE, an air cooled, fuel injected four-stroke! A very impressive dirt bike, but also street legal out of the box. It's primarily built for woods, and comes with fully adjustable, and lowerable suspension, Bosch EFI, skid plate, disc gaurd, handguards, LED lights, a comfortable seat, and also electric start, with smooth and manageable power delivery at a very comfortable price.
Ken has a very interesting history on two wheels. He started riding at 12 on a Suzuki 80 and it didnt take long for him to realize that racing was in his blood! His first race was on a 1969 Penton. Enclosed is the cool pic of him from the Alligator Enduro. After a period of time, he moved to the "74" Bultaco 250, which he totally rebuilt from the ground up. We also included a picture of that beauty too. As a matter a fact, since his first motorcycle, he's owned to many machines to list. Approximately 7 street bikes and 25 dirt machines! One thing that I thought was really neat, was how he saved room by taking the engraved trophy plates from many of his deteriorating older trophies, and attached them to a panel, which is pictured. Also attached is a photo of one of his favorite races, which has him getting ready to leave the starting line for the 69th ISDE. Very intriguing Ken! Especially with minimal injuries over time. An ACL replacement, (ouch!), and a few broke ribs! Very cool!
Thanks Ken! It was great getting to know a little more about you! Im sure you'll enjoy that GPX! One super nice ride! Glad to see your still with the team, we'll see ya on the trail!

Upstate Cycle started its day by welcoming Chad, who is from the local area. He was looking to get back into the dirt after a number of years. He started riding back in "1991" on a KX125 when he was about 15 years old. Absolutely loved the sport, and enjoyed his time aboard multiple units, until he was about 20, where he was then riding a CR500. He then wanted to give 4wheelers a shot, with his first one being a 400EX, and then later to the potent Suzuki LT250R! But as time went on, he couldn't resist getting back on 2wheels.
He came in and fell for the very impressive "2025" Beta 250 Race Edition! A very good choice! A flashy, quick, and nimble machine with race ready features such as KYB suspension and high end components. Beta's focus is on making a very capable race bike thats genuinely fun and accessible,- thus the logo, "Rideability"! Chad's in for a treat! Especially since its such a versatile tool for both fun and trailriding, but also for serious racing.
Thanks Chad! "Grip it and rip it!" Youre going to have a blast out there! Welcome to the team and we will see ya on the trail!

Jason, who is from "The Old Dominion" state of Virginia, came by Upstate Cycle to pickup this specialized Beta 390RR X/Pro. He was ahead of the curve by already researching and knowing which motorcycle and accessories he wanted, such as wrap around hand gaurds, billet radiator gaurds, and a Beta fan kit for tight woods riding. His focus was on finding a more comfortable and stable woods machine, with unique features like the X/Trig handlebar mounts, coolant recovery tank, lower seat height, excellent low-end engine performance, and quality components like ZF suspension, to name a few of the impressive components.
Jason started riding in "2009" in California, while serving in the Navy. In 2015 he retired from the Navy, and started traveling for work, which limited his time to enjoy the sport of riding. He hasn't ridden offroad since "2021" and decided he would get back into it on this extraordinary machine! Thanks Jason. And thanks so much for stepping up to serve in the U.S.Navy! Now its time for you to get out and enjoy that sweet Beta! Welcome to the team and we will see ya on the trail!
