LOL! I am smaller guy, only 6' and 230 lbs and closing 40 fast. I luckily have few acres of my own land where I can practice and the local trial clubs practice grounds are only 10 minutes away. I hope to get back in shape with trial and lose about 30-40lbs during this summer.

Thanks for your input. I today saw the bike and did some basic test riding. Its engine felt strong and sounded ok. There was marks that the rear tire does touch the muffler. So, some alignment problem is there, might be easily fixed though. The only obvious problems I found was one leaking front shock and total lack of service history. The present owner has done nothing to it and knows nothing of its history. I will see another '01 315r later this week. It has seen lots of competition but it has a solid service history and lots of things done lately.

Hi, again one of these about to buy a Montesa threads. There are two 2001 models I am looking at. Both are in decent condition and quite reasonably priced. I was just looking at the images of them and noticed this. Can you explain what is going on here, the rear tire looks like its is not straight? Is this a problem or just something I could easily straighten? Thanks!
