Now then, is that what you expected? (front page photos of new Mont)

I expected not to like the look but am pleasently surprised. If doesn't look any bigger or for that matter much heavier than the Montesa 2T. The frame design looks early gas gas but in Aluminium. I guess the frame had to get smaller in dimension to keep the whole thing small.

It's pretty much what i expected really, impressive, but predictable.

Looks very good, does the fuel injection need a battery to pump the fuel under high pressure??
I have got to say it has exceeded my expectation, cant wait to try... buy one.

Having seen the photos, it looks like it has utilised an almost 315 like frame layout, and the motor isn't a CRF bottom end.

I'm not complaining, it looks ready to ride - not work in progress !

I was thinking on how you start it, surely the injection needs some power to get the bike running ? (best get the laptop ready to set the timing an mixture)

So what's its going to sell at ?

£4K ?

If they need a crash test dummy then give me a call

Hi,

It's much what I thought it would be........but overall pleasantly suprised as well.

Not sure about the look of the silencer though, it definitely flows with the bike (unlike the REV3 say), but it does seem to stand out

Kudos to Montesa.

PS. Can you imagine a 2T motor in that frame.......WOW!

Ian.

The cylinder looks nice a small and low on the visible side but I can't quite see where the plug lead ends so don't know where the actual top of the cylinder finishes. There is certainly more on the left side that we can't see. It fills the frame where as this side has a lot of height above the cylinder.

I looked at the CRF-X motor to compare, the only thing that looks stolen is their "unicam" design.

Well I’m happy with the look of it and the shape of it. It was nothing like I thought it would be .

What the **** are you talking about WB.

Wow Bigfoot, those things make me dizzy!!!

[Trials Lad]

It looks asthough it has alot of montesa 315 parts on it.

The silencer is a bit large, perhaps a nice Akrapovic carbon can would fit in there nicely.
