1950s Moto Beta XTR

In Dual-Sport, Italy, Small Displacement by Abhi1 Comment

Just like that, this XTR is gone – unclear if it sold or if it was pulled off the market.

Americans may know Beta because we can occasionally get some of their cool enduros out here. But 50 years ago, they sold a complete range of smaller dual-sports and street bikes, like this 100cc XTR scrambler.

This example has 950 miles on the odometer and is claimed to be all original/ready for restoration. It has spent the last 30 years in heated storage but it’s unclear how functional it is. Unfortunately, I have to assume that the bike does not run, which makes the asking price ridiculous. Hopefully I’m wrong and the bike works just fine, in which case the asking price is only slightly ridiculous. Despite that, I figured this bike was worth sharing due to the rarity. Find this Moto Beta XTR for sale in Stanwood, Washington for $9,500 here on Craigslist.
