axulsuv Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 If he's big enough and you can find one , You can't much beat a good old TY80 ... Easy to shift and about indestructible ! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttr250man Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Beta Rev50. Mine had a Ty80, then a Beta 50. Chalk n cheese, but then there's 30yrs difference. Mine was definately handicapped on a TY against all the others on modern bikes. Lighter, easier to start, more grip, so much difference.

bikespace Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yep - my vote is Beta Rev 50. Great little bike. We had one for nearly 3 years, and lost about 150 quid per year on it. Never thought I'd go against the TY80, but these days I think only any good for early D class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 A txt boy 50 with flywheel weight is brilliant too. Very ty 80 but with the modern bits and light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
