Wow- more negativity from Dabster!! Imagine that!

Montesa have the confidence to put their 4 stroke up against the proven 2 stoke machines. No other manufacturer, with the exception of Scorpa, can do this.

If the indoor WTC was limited to 4 stroke bikes, Montesa would win.

If the outdoor was limited to 4 stroke bikes, Montesa would win.

..."If all the other manufacturers decided to start manufacturing feminine hygiene products instead of motorcycles, Montesa would win"

Hontesa put all their eggs in the 4t basket due to marketing. They are thinking long term and know that although they'll get their butts handed to them indoors this first year, when the FIM dictatorship forces 4ts down everyones throats (which is a certainty) that they'll be at least a year up on everyone else. It has NOTHING to do with "bottle", they don't produce a 2 stroke anymore, so cannot compete on one, regardless of the riders wishes. There is no way on God's green earth that the Marketing people at Hontesa would ever allow them to compete on last years bike, when the differences are so obvious.

The tables will soon be reversed when 2 strokes are banned completely and the one with the biggest R&D budget wins.

Actually, just wondering where all of the hatred towards Montesa comes from (even when it is one of your countrymen on it that you slam) and if when Dougie or Fuji win how you will explain that and if an appology will be issued!
