Beta`s  are not made very well mate, the swing arm bearings do not have seals on and the electrics are prone to water ingress.

My mate as a beta 300rr racing endurance bike he states the electrics are poor on them as well

A mate does some sympathetic restorations 

A Dutch army Guzzi and his 1930s Norton being rebuilt after throwing him off with a tank slapper and a broken collar bone

This is the mates latest project after he finished the street fighter. 

Only the beginning but he'll turn it into something nice.

Yeah its nice   I've had a go on it,  feels like nothing else with the gear shifter,  you get very involved,  it's his pride and joy it was handed down from his father.

A build made from the parts of a couple of Honda CJ 250 T`s

If I remember rightly the 250T was around about the time of the Honda 250 G5 I had one and done 100mph through the Blackwall Tunnel in the 80s it felt like 200mph lol.

I have probably owned well over 50 odd bikes over the years before I started on the railway I was a courier for 15 years the weather got to me in the end, there’s been a few bikes that stick in memory my Ducati Monsters and my lunatic Gpz 750 Turbo I still get goose bumps thinking of the acceleration of the thing
