The first motocross race I ever went to was in 1970 and there were two guys ridng these Moto Betas. Believe it or not, they were without a doubt the fastest bikes on the track. The one guy (from Farmington wash.) absolutely SMOKED the 100 cc expert class over a field of Bultaco 100's, Kawasaki Centurions and Yamaha enduro100s. This race was just before the class became all Super Rats the very next month. The Rats enjoyed supremacy for the rest of the season and were vanquished the following spring by the advent of the green Yamaha 100 Lt 1 MX with the low pipe. The Beta sort of vanished, along with DKW, Carabela, Monark, etc. I'm glad I was able to witness the color and diversity of the time before the Japanese domination.
