zippy Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 From the sales literature "2014 Montesa Honda Cota 4RT Repsol Edition" for some reason that makes me think of NASCAR drivers at the end of a race. "The 2014 Penzoil Monster Bell Limited Ricky Bobby JR edition Chevy Camaro Z785 performed perfectly today" But seriously this could be a great thing for trials. I personally don't like the Montesa, but with it being backed and advertised by Honda which is a very well known motorcycle name in the USA it will be noticed by more motorcycle riders and maybe bring more interest to the sport. Especially if the Montesa was sold in actual Honda dealerships displayed on the sales floor right next to the Motocross and road bikes.

brewtus Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Don't count on many Montesas sitting on U.S. showroom floors. 99% of the American motorcycle buying public would walk right past them to buy 'Wings or VTX's not ever knowing what the hell they are. I'm just thrilled to have them available here again after what, 7 years or so? I know of 2 orders already, and I may sweet-talk my credit union into yet another....

lineaway Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Reality it has been almost twenty years since we had a large dealer presence of a trials bike in the USA. `85-86 Yamaha Ty 350 and everyone`s favorite, the`86 and ` 87 Reflex.

sportsawyer Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 .... The contingencies for the senior class end at age 59! Looks like the rules require at least 5 riders in a class. So a lot of the SR age classes and other support classes may not have enough riders. Maybe Honda could make an exception for trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
