March 10, 201016 yr Hi I currently have a Beta rev 3 and I am looking to upgrade a year or 6. I have identified a Scorpa 250 near to me which from the pictures looks v clean (I know that they sometimes Lie) . What type of money should I be looking at and what niggles should I be aware of and checking for when I view. If it were another Beta I would know!! Thanks in Advance

Some guys have had problems with the mid-section of the exhaust splitting, easy enough to weld it up again, not a big problem. The clutch gets stuck if the bike is not used for a while, but frees within seconds when you get the hang of it. I have had my

March 11, 201016 yr If it rides as well as it looks,you can't go wrong.I would view it,and take what you're prepared to pay for it with you.Arrange a deal there and bring it home with you,better than than being outbid in the last 15 seconds on ebay,good luck
