Montesa 315r what year is this bike???
prices have dived abit this is the most undesirable model, but they are a great clubman bike, id say closer to £1100 would be right, but it looks lightly used at first glance.

Montesa v Beta
Not for me jimmy im fairly consistantly average, but never lose 3 x marks one day to the next on similar sections. I could never get to the bottom of the 4rt grip, almost when it (I) was good it made it easy (showa suspension?) but when it got into trouble it was always twice as difficult to recover............I gave up in the end and went back to 2t

hybrid trials bike???
..which is why the beta is the same engine for 20 years and 4rt gas gas and sherco are all so old. If there was any kind of money we would have seen development of new motors, there isnt, we havent.

Montesa v Beta
What i found with my 4rt was if you ride it well the weight isnt an issue, but the moment you sart to struggle its twice as tricky. One day i lost 20 next day 60 marks could never work out why.

Custom modernized Bultaco
thats because the exhaust port is on the side, by the rest of the build im guessing its a converted frame, but couldnt recognize it.

Custom modernized Bultaco
this is the bike that has been dawn a few times as the bike Bultaco wouldve made next had they not gone pop. Its a Frenchman escuyeire or summat. Bit of a joke really as it doesnt use the last engine, a gas gas swinging arm, forks from 10 years ago, not the best kickstart available, dellorto carb and so on. Just cant see the point, but thats just me.

FIM Take Back TrialGP Series
Good or bad jake had tried to improve things and appeared to have some format repeated in various countries to give the series some continuity. Not a fan of one day events but i dont think that was sport 7s choice? The you tube and live reprts are necessary imho to generate intrest outside of the event country. If this doesnt continue the beginning of the end for the wtc is in sight.
