A 91 beta (Zero?) just came up locally for $1800. Price seems a little high but it looks pretty clean. He says it needs a new throttle tube,rear brake bleader and rear wheel bearings. Is there anything I should look for with these bikes. I know nothing about beta's.

corrosion in the cooling circuit

Throughly check the condition of the rear suspension linkage any lift or play will mean $$$ if you can get the parts and as a consiquence of potential wear in the suspension linkage - look to see if the swing arm has any cracks in it especially at the point where the arms meet the cross brace you need to really look hard at the inside faces here.

If either / both have suffered I'd walk away. Welding a plate on is not an option.

thanks I'll check those out

If you take time to look for a bargin. For that kind of money you can get a 2000-2003 vintage. You will have a much better bike that you can easily get parts for.
