playboy Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I am looking at buying a techno 270 1999 model.CAn anyone give advice as to whether this bike is a good bike or is it one to avoid.Are spares easy to come by(also have a cota200,whose spares are like golddust),so dont want to be in the same situation as that.many thanks grahamcota I have been riding and competing in trials for many years and have previously owned both the Cota 200 and a Beta Techno and let me tell you they are worlds apart. Back in the day the Beta Techno was a very competitive bike and was also very reliable and well built. You still see alot of these bikes about today usually ridden by non competing riders, as things have moved on alot in the last 8 years. Ask yourself this "How many other brands do you see about that are this age and still running strong?" ....Not many as they will mostly be completely dead. Testament to how strong and reliable the beta is. I wouldn't worry too much about parts as it's not going to break (easily) and the parts you would need are still readily available. Hope this helps.

ruffrider Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'd choose Techno over Cota everytime We've 2 Technos and are really pleased with them They're pretty bullet proof and spares are easy to come by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
