jordi Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Thats neat Shows how similar trials bikes have come. Would be interesting to run through all 05,s this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 hmmmm handlebar positin on sherco appears to be much higher and further forward.. will be difficult for doug to ride if is that low .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the artist formerly known as ish Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 That is very good!! I think it shows why some prefer the riding position of the Mont, and some prefer the Sherco, same goes for all bikes, when it comes down to it it's all about choosing the one that suits you best.

bigfoot Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Great post. I agree it would be good to cycle through all 05 bikes that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Very clever. The montesa exhaust doesn't do it any favours. How long before an aftermarket version is released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I too agree that seeing all the 05's cycled through would be a good idea. Isn't the Sherco 4t basically an 05 2.9 with a 4-stroke stuffed in the frame instead of the 2.9 motor? Did the Mont get a total ground up design?

bikespace Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) I agree, would be good to see 'em all together, and also don't have the nogging to actually do it. Anybody here know anybody clever? Us thick people could perhaps have a whip round and get 'em to do it for us. That's not U.S. thick people before I get complaints from over the pond Oh dear, its not even 8 o'clock and already enough beer in me to talk rubbish.

bullfrog Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 I have to offer a slightly different opinion. If you watch the animation carefully, the two bikes do not have perfectly matched wheelbases. While the rear axles seem to be well matched, the front axles are not (significantly) - and I THINK the actual machines are very close on wheelbase. Ennneywayeeee, it makes it appear that the bars "move" higher and farther forward - and it is easy to miss that the forks also "move" forward and are taller. It is a VERY interesting comparison, but don't carry it too far with out checking actual dimensions. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Bikespace, You won't get any complaints from us thick people in the U.S. ,(we know who we are) we can't yell loud enough to get it to carry over the pond.

stuessenhigh Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Lets all keep buying the 2 strokes then!!!...although I dont blame anyone buying the 4...they all look great..but well out of my price range too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Lets all keep buying the 2 strokes then!!!...although I dont blame anyone buying the 4...they all look great..but well out of my price range too! I suppose it's the price we pay for all that Input that Honda put into it, Don't know if the Sherco will be going the same way. All this plug it in to the laptop to see whats wrong just p****s me off, I just didn't think I'd see this kind of thing in Trials bikes......still I guess it is 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yamaha_dude Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) Could some one find and post a factory picture of the Honda Montesa? From the same angle as the one in the animated .gif file. Ill try and find a way of making one which cycles through them all, i have alot of time to waste so...

bulsher Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 A little dissapointing on the size of the Sherco top end, could have been made smaller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
