austini Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 It's been over a year now since the 4RT replaced the 2ST whats the concensus: Did Montesa do the right thing or should they have run on the 2ST for a couple more years? How many units are the dealers selling in 06 compared with 04? Do you think the indoor series has hurt Montesa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dixie Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 If you could buy a monty it would be nice,last year i gave up waiting in about april I am still waiting for one now Only a few years ago monty had loads of bikes at southern trials mostly new or just a year old,now they are fewer on the ground and old 315s still out number 4rts Montesa in my opinion where brave to change to 4t but when they did it they thought everone else would have to do the same (they still might) everyone who has one seems to love it,its just not many people want to take the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_290 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I would say it's a good thing for Montesa, as when 4 stroke is mandatory, they'll have the upper hand, those crazy Jap's know what they're doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Not many dealers want a shop full of Pex's would you. Dealer price for that sherco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere ( don't you just hate that vague phrase?)that; 1) The current 4RT cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montman Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I agree with most of what has been said I reckon that the bike gives four-stoke lovers a competitive machine at most levels and for them, if they can afford it, thats great. Any normal rider who judges a bike by its indoor performance only I think would be a little naive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cota kid Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 There are 2 type of people in this world. Those that own a 4RT and those that want to own one. Theres only really Sherco and Montesa who have bought out a new bike in the last year. Beta and Gasser just cosmetic changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
