jj65 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Here's proof there brand new bikes (not the rumored hundreds sat in a warehouse since 2009) in production, looking forward :0). http://www.trial-club.com/webzine-trial/actualites/infos-internationales/news/article/nouvelles-montesa-en-production/ This also shows the massive differences in prices for the new bikes in different countries, with Spain being the cheapest by a long way :0( Edited October 5, 2013 by jj65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgas249uk Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Jj65 thanks for the photo. That's the photo I wasnt allowed to take when I was there in April. Honda are really changing their tune and being far more open than they have ever been before . Did you take the photo or was it from w site or magazine ?? Did people really think Honda were selling old stock bikes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did people really think Honda were selling old stock bikes ? Honda UK, are far from being open with info etc, (it's almost like they don't want to sell them, if you ask me) it'll be interesting to see if they bother turning up with bikes for the BVM test day. It isn't a photo I took, I believe it's one honda have released.(probably to dispel the rumors) There were lots of rumors that Honda had hundreds of unsold bikes, mainly spread by the uneducated ;0) I believe, (but I maybe wrong) that the UK bikes are comming without the road kit. Can't wait to get mine, sometime soon, I hope :0) Edited October 5, 2013 by jj65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie_lejeune Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 they must have stock of hundreds of old head lights- the colour scheme doesnt match the bike at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 and its not a repsol light at all! The rumours of surplas bikes was true a few years ago, I don't think anyone has said a 260 could be anything but new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumours of surplas bikes was true a few years ago, I don't think anyone has said a 260 could be anything but new. It's not a repsol headlight because it's the road kit, which 99% of owners remove, along with the speedo and the rest of the road kit. The repsol gets a headlight that's in the race rep kit. I have heard it said several times about the new bike being old bikes with new parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Aren't there a few HRC 260 kits that need using up Edited October 6, 2013 by johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedracer Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Aren't there a few HRC 260 kits that need using up From what I believe, there was only about 60 HRC 260's, so I'd imagine they would of all been sold, as it was a Japan only model. Although Josep Banyeres did have some for sale. Edited October 6, 2013 by shedracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 The rep sol I had in 08 had a special light, surely you get one for the extra £1300 odd don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
