In Italy, Less than 5k, Off-Road, Small Displacement by AbhiLeave a Comment

3-24-18 Update: 2 and a half years later, this XTR is still for sale – the seller reached out to me directly and he said he’s willing to take offers. Find it here on Craigslist for $3,800 or best offer.


With just 11 miles, this Moto Beta XTR has barely been used, though some of the finish and decals have decayed. But first, you might be asking…what’s a Moto Beta XTR?

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. As you might see from the below specifications, the XTR used a 2 stroke single and it sold for $399.

This example is claimed to be in nice condition though the seller has never tried to run it. The chrome/upholstery/paint is claimed to be in good shape but there’s some decay of the decals and speedometer finish. Find this baby scrambler for sale in Minnetonka, Minnesota for $3,600 here on Craigslist.
