2025 Beta 480 XPro vs 2024 Beta 500 RS
Hello. I’m trying to compare the differences in 2 used bikes I’m looking at on marketplace and would love insight by anyone with experience.
I’m still a beginner rider, but looking for some more power and lighter weight than my klx250 while sticking with a tame power delivery and luggable gears. I mostly ride 2 track trails, forest roads and looking forward to SM 500 and BDR trips in the future.
I’ve found 2 similar bikes on Facebook marketplace that have similar prices. The 2025 480 x pro has more mods for performance and looks (rad fan, replaced oil pump gears, larger tank, luggage rack, light rally tower, etc) but it has 2,500 miles on it. The 2024 500rs has 500 miles but mostly stock.
If both were priced the same are there any differences or things I should consider? Hard to find good info on the differences but it seems like same engine. I sometimes ride 45 minutes of pavement to the forest roads and sometimes load in truck for trails, but road comfort is a factor.
