Description
Purchased by first owner (a personal friend) in Dec 2018 from John Lee Motorcycles, then sold to me in Oct 2021.
Recent engine rebuild by Acme Motorcycles, including new crankshaft bearings, rod, piston and small end, with the plated bore returned to original dimensions (see pictures above)
Equipped to a very high standard with extras including AS3 folding front brake and clutch levers, powerful ET Racing street-legal LED headlamp (original included in sale), grip heaters (disconnected to run headlamp, but easily reconnected if original headlamp reinstalled), metal handguards with Acerbis spoilers, folding mirror, IMS 11-litre long-range tank (original included in sale with fittings), Pro-Carbon Racing exhaust guard (no dents in exhaust), Mecasystems radiator guards, AS3 clutch slave cylinder protector, case-saver and sidestand with foot, Oxford stop/ tail lamp with number-plate illumination (required for MoT), Talon sprockets and DID X-Ring Rally chain, recent rear disc and pads, Pirelli MT43 Professional trials tyres front and rear, Tubliss puncture-proof system to rear (fitting kit supplied).
A spare air filter, airbox guard and the original toolkit will be supplied with the bike.
This bike has covered 4312 recorded miles in total (211 hours) and is still running in following the engine overhaul.
The Beta X-Trainer (cross-trainer) 300 is known in Long Distance Trials circles as the X-Cheater because it is so easy to ride on challenging terrain, thanks to a combination of light weight, reasonably low seat height, supple suspension and manageable power from its two-stroke engine. A power mode switch, adjustable forks and shock and an adjustable powervalve mean it can be tailored to suit anyone from a first-time rider to an expert. There's a reliable electric starter too!
Manuals and parts books are available free on-line, and there is plenty of paper 'history' with the bike including original sales documents.
This machine is fitted with powerful lighting and a long-range tank, making it ideal for events such as the Lands End and Edinburgh Trials, both of which it has completed with me aboard. It would also make an ideal bike for recreational green lane riding, clubman class enduro, or even extreme enduro if you are brave enough.
It can cover over 100 miles without refuelling, and oil injection means you don't need to worry about pre-mix.
