thesaint Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I can get this 2001 Montesa Cota 315R for $1150 or 750 GBP. What do you think of the bike from looking at the pictures? Everything on the bike is in working order and the bike does not need any work so it is just to hop on and ride the bike Well, i suuppose i will need to change the oil since the bike have not been used for some years according to the seller I could off course paint the bike if i buy it Do you think i sould buy this Montesa Cota 315R? If i buy it i would like to get the bike looking like a Repsol bike I suppose the 315 R is the same bie in 2004? Note that i already have a Gas Gas TX 320 that i just put on a 3,5 liter fuel tank(see the bottom picture) Edited October 1, 2015 by thesaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigrushton Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Looks all good to me, and think its a 2002 if it makes any difference. At that price I would get it as they are very good bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 It doesn't seem to be the best looked after bike.Some things to expect on an older bike that's been in storage, or in other words, hasn't been maintained for years:Rusted wheel-, linkage-, swing arm- and steering head bearings.Corrosion in the brake and clutch system.etc.I think it's impossible to say if you should buy it or not from behind my PC.Take someone with you to check out the bike, who knows his stuff.

thesaint Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Great if it is a 2002 model instead of 2001 What is the differenceof a 2001 vs a 2002 model? Forgot to tell that the bike comes with a new rear fender and a new front fender If i buy it i would like to have the bike in Repsol decals and colours On my Gas Gas i have adjusters on both the left and right fork leg but on this 2001 Montesa Cota 315R it looks like there only is an adjsuetr on the right side fork. Is the Montesa supposed to only have a adjuster on the right fork or is one adjsuter missing? See the red arrow on the picture below Edited October 1, 2015 by thesaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guys Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 That's normal, the right fork leg holds the damper and its adjustments, the left fork leg the only spring and its preload adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowball Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Get it. I never regretted buying mine, just change all fluids and get those linkage bearing greased and serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collyolly Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Good price, but you must check out how it runs and rides as it looks like it has had a very hard life ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

english electric Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 at 750 you could break it and easily get your money back on parts. .like its been said its an old bike but a very good model and at the price I am sure you may be able to shave a few more quid off . its up to you a punt people have spent far more on bikes and they have turned out to be lemons but 750 don't sweat it .

bbk Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 you wouldn't be buying it over here i would have already bought it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza7965 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I would have bought it just for spares at that price. I recently purchased a 2002 and have done a bit of a makeover on it, thought it might be of interest 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think that's a 2001, i had one. The 2002 had black decals on the frame, i thought the 2001 looked better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
