Thanks for your imput guys, have gone with my heart and have got myself a running project cota349 "circa 1980." Will let you no how I get on with it.

HI,just wondered if there are any updates on the electronic ignition for the 349 cotas. Have the issues discussed in this thread been sorted out? and can anyone give me a seat of the pants discription on how well it does/does not work? I fitted electronic ignition to my ty175 and it totally transformed the bike starting/power delivery etc. Any comments greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member so a quick hello. I'm sure this has probably been discussed before but I want to change bikes and would appreciate your opinions. The bikes I am interested in are a Yamaha ty250, Montesa cota349, or a bultaco250/325. Is any one of them better than the other handling, reliability wise etc? and are there any to avoid. I know there are othermakes of bikes out there but these are the ones I grew up with and have nostalgic appeal.I'm an avaerage clubman trials rider and would like a competative twinshock bike. Thanks in advance, Spawtydawg.
