Four-Stroke

it will be interesting to see this bike ,it sounds much more like what was expected of the new generation 4ts

Hi, Just a question...how do you think the manufactures will deal with selling the new four stokes? Montesa for example, god knows how many 04 bikes they produce, but around most are already brought before they are realised (though deposits). The Four Stroke Honda (in my opinion) will be highly requested, as will other brands when their 4 strokes come out. Although the rule isn't in place till 2006, requests for these bikes will be massive. How will manufactures deal with this massive request? What are your opinions?

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.

What do you guys think?

Ouch!.......looks like it's definitely a prototype then!

Hi all, Would love to have animated this but no time. I centred both bikes around the swing-arm shaft. PS. I had to mirror the 2T.

Well, they are just round the corner.... will the new FOUR STROKES be a plus for our sport, or are they gonna drown the smaller manufactures and tightening the market, resulting in spiraling prices??? The flag has dropped...

Ishy, this would be a good one for you to answer. You still have yours right? Always wanted one, but wonder what they would be like to ride. A guy as old as me could even drop down and ride in the senior class with one of those thumpers!

Everyone is going to have one, right? When does it look like we will be able to see one?

i hate four strokes and thats all im gonna say

Some people are certain that the new four strokes are going to be a great addition to our sport. Some people are sure that it will mean the end of the world. Some people are wondering about the advantages that the four stoke will offer the trials rider. While it is true that we won't know for certain how they will perform until they get here, I found this description of four stroke power, written by Cycle World's Technical Editor Kevin Cameron, very interesting. "The major advantage of the four stroke is that its power, as the throttle is initially opened, begins near zero and increases smoothly, especially in mildly tuned engines with short cam timing. In the two stro…
