Beta have built many two- and four-stroke
machines for competition and street use in capacities of 49cc to 360cc.
Their trials machines were state of the art in the 1990s, with Doug Lampkin
winning the World Championship in 1997, 1998 and 1999 on Beta.
During the early 70s some Beta machines were marketed in the United
States under the Premier label, and, according to Tragatsch, Giuseppe Bianchi
was the original designer.

Contact
Al, NH & Michel (plus anyone else interested),
I believe I have talked to many of you via e-mail
in the past about Premier Motorcycle items. Rob Trudeau has a website
that you may have contacted previously and he gave me your addresses.
The best contact Rob Trudeau and myself have found for Premier / Moto Beta
parts is Domi Racer in Ohio USA. Tony Shanz at Domi has just about
everything you need, however the prices are very high.
Another source for historical information on Moto
Beta and Premier parts is the owner of GT Motors - Larry Klein (Moto Guzzi
Dealer) located in Lansing MI. Larry is hard to get a hold of, but
if you run into him at a swap meet of M/C show he can give you a nice history
and may have some leads to follow on how to track down your serial number
info, titles or other info and sources.
Domi Racers information is listed below.
Thanks,
M-Ting!

I bought this from a guy a couple of years ago, to teach my daughter
to ride on. The bike is a 1978 Beta Cross SP1 (MX3), It is a 50cc trail
bike, with a 3 speed gearbox and top speed of 30mph. I have trawled the
internet but have been unable to find any information on this model. I
contacted the factory in Italy, but they could only confirm the colour
scheme was correct and they e-mailed a diagram of a Beta Cross MX4 with
the physical dimensions of the bike on it. Is this model a rarity, does
anybody have any information on this model?

Hello, My name is Paul Hamilton, and My father Sold Moto Betas from
his upholstry shop in Lake City, a suburb of Seattle, Wa. USA I am taking
delivery of a 1971 Moto Beta XC100. a race model of the MBXTR 100A. I sold
this bike to my good friend some 35 years ago. I built this bike from parts
back in 1970 when I worked for my dad as a moto beta mechanic. I would
come to his shop after school and repair moto betas, moto morinis, laverda's
and whatever motorcycles people would drag in for repair. Those were the
very best days of my life.(So far anyway) My dad sponsered Two Moto Beta
race bikes and I was one of two riders that raced short track flattrack
for Lake City Moto Beta. My bike was a souped up XTR100A, and was known
as "The flexible flyer" The other bike was a custom modified XC100 race
model with a hand made 6 reed reedvalve and 7port cylinder.I have some
photos of these bikes but I am not sure were I put them! We sold MB 50's
80's 100's 125's The XTR100A and XC100 were our best sellers, but we sold
a lot of MB50'S as bumper bikes, I think they sold for $299.00 I wish I
had kept one, they would go 55 MPH!
