NEW KIWI HOME FOR
ITALIAN BRAND BETA
I
talian manufacturer Beta
Motorcycles has found a new
home in Aotearoa, with Euromoto
taking on the distribution rights for
the Tuscan brand.
As a division of the wider Triumph
Motorcycles New Zealand group –
which itself hosts much-loved brands
including Triumph Motorcycles,
Aprilia, Piaggio and Moto Guzzi –
Euromoto benefits from the parent
company’s strong link to many of New
Zealand’s favourite dealerships.
As a result we’re picking that the
presence of the Beta brand here in
New Zealand can only get better with
the confirmation of Euromoto as the
country’s new distributor.
Euromoto has confirmed the
intended dealer network is planned
to remain relatively small, with
a core dealer network of seven
dealers backed up by a supporting
service agent network of up to 15
dealerships. The full list of dealers is
set to be confirmed over the coming
months.
As Euromoto isn’t the first distributor
of Beta in NZ, the company (being
rather good sorts) is acknowledging
the previous importers who have
helped to build a profile for Beta
within NZ over the past years by
confirming that both Christchurch’s
Precision Motorcycles and Kapiti’s NZ
Trials will form part of the new Beta
dealership network.
As for the bikes themselves, the
arrival date of the new metal is yet to
be confirmed. However, ex-editor JB is
attending the launch of the new bikes
right now, so we’ll get the launch
report covering the new bikes in the
mag as soon as we can prise the
words out of JB’s laptop.
