Post by: mortaygo on April 05, 2013, 04:59:11 pm

Got a Beta cr500 about 79 vintage
Was bought into OZ by Trevor flood at Gasit imports.

Don't know much else, can't find pictures
It appears complete, even has compression
Just hasn't been started in over 30 years...

Anyone no much about it????

I had an '81 250 Beta not so long ago that was also imported by Trevor Flood. I bought it with a broken piston and it had been sitting since '82. I had too many projects so moved it on to another forum member and i believe it's a goer now.
They're a cool bike and look similar to an '81 Maico..
