ham2 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I am definitely not associated with this sale-----The hyper-rare 04 montesa 4rt ''...Never used competitively..'' but has a comp no. ? Was there really an 04 model? '...'Selling for a friend who now lives in OZ''....? Am I being too harsh on the lad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Its not a bad price.. you wonder with items like this if it should be a requirement to include frame & engine nos. If it's dodgy the guys 's certainly got some "neck". I'm wandering a bit but we had a trials bike stolen a few years back..it turned up being thrashed as a field bike by youngsters all the gas gas part nos. had been ground off and we then had to proove it was ours to the police by identifying a repair in bottom of airbox.....even if you know it's your bike you have to be able to proove it! the kids were declared innocent they bought it cheap etc. the bike was a wreck I now register all my bikes its worth it in long run.

It was a run what you brung and I thought I woz great. 12.39 on an LC is pretty good going, my best run was on a stock GSXR1100 back in the early '90's at Long Marston and that was 10.98. I had a lot more power available to go just 1.4 secs quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon v8 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It was all good stuff,my bruv also got his photo in Performance bikes,(Performing Berks ? ) doing a track day at Cadwell Park, he completely missed a bend and was pictured standing up while crossing the grass doing a half decent tank slapper. I've only ever been in TMX....... (Not for winning either.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 There was someone popped up here with an ad for a perfect cherry '04 315, last of the last! Asking 2700 for it, I want it, but cannot afford it. Heard there were only six sold here that year, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
