peibarry Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 OK, now that you are all done laughing at the fact that Yamaha decided to call one of their scooters a "Beluga", I need some parts! I recently picked up a barn find 1982 Beluga/Riva 80cc and I need a carb for it and also a left hand side panel. I plan on restoring it (since my chappy is on hold due to a parts shortage!) and I need multiple scooters/mopeds in various stages of completion to keep me amused. My Yamaha collection is now equal to my Honda.......3 of each! THanks anyone who can help show Beluga some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say its been stored indoors and out of the sun. Its only got either 700 miles or 700 kms on it. Not sure which the odometer recorded in in 1982? But its super low thats for sure.

rizzlet Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 wow your beluga is in great shape! nice one. i picked one up yesterday and its looking like its had a hard life, ripped seat, fading colours etc but cheap and it runs well for an old bike. at some stage though its been dropped on its side and busted the right hand indicators. im having trouble finding a site that supplies them. do you know of a good site that may be able to help? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck By the way your garage looks the same size as my house lucky bugger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
