feetupfun Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I notice that there are lots of mentions of mid 1980s SWMs, Fantics and Hondas but no-one seems to say much about the Cota 242. I didn't ride between 1980 and 1988 and so have little first hand knowledge of what was popular in that era and why. Can someone tell me why these bikes are not popular in Twinshock Class nowadays? Did they have any redeeming features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham2 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Not many redeeming features in my experience I got one given to me ( in a box, in bits and pieces)about 9 years ago. That re-kindled the off-road bug but I'm afraid the gearbox and the clutch were out of the frame more often than in! I seem to remember the steering was smooth and sturdy though.
