so its super soft or a performance bike?

If youre in spain you need to meet up with george. http://montanaadventures.co.uk/

youre not going to tell us youve given up on the 4rt?????

Did i mention Belgium or Luxembourg?

japan is very much a man made course, most sections tbh. Yes its muddy inbetween but so is spain czech poland Sweeden was too when i went there.

i think we get it too cheap not saying we should buy a 40 ft artic but there has to be something to keep youngsters involved/trained/developed.

In the uk we have had a very very long list of junior world champions, i think the last Spanish one was either gomez or tarres? Cant remember if casales won or not. So something is happeneing when they move to the top route and its as much to do with money and support. Also the change in rules did nothing to encourage youth just prolonged the careers of the spanish top 5. (excludes bou)

Japan is the most man made event on the calendar.

Alot of difference between £10 and 300 euros?

Funny that as I hate montesas, but gainst my better judgement I bought a 242 and its a cracking bike, and as good in standard form as any 200 fantic if not a better motor. Im sure its the best under rated twinshock out there.

So we're 100% youre saying on a standard 4rt bou would win just as much?

wheres the living room?

Honda Montesa have a track record of taking younger riders on the cusp, not old riders on the way down.

That simply isnt true at the top level at all. Shercos and betas had real problems with their clutches which is why you saw specials. Yes bou would win on most current bikes but the exceptional build of his very light one off special helps no end.

Of course you're right. My gp is in my garage so how I got mixed up can only be down to age related memory or simply I havnt caught up with the fact the standard bike is a "racing"! @imexian youre flush enough buy the GP.

message sport 7 aka Jake Miller.

if that were true it would have happened when they were available, if they were as good as other makes. Great (grate) or not?

is anyone riding Sherco?

Thats an over simplification and not exactly true, but what is for sure is honda montesa in terms of trials havnt made money for a long time.

its not "the big thing" it is doing well considering it is new, but very much the same as other makes.

why? The trs has taken off well the gas gas is as strong as ever why would these customers change?

was it any different to a 242?

memory is a funny thing. what "trial" was it?

the rules are there because Andy wishes them to be afaik, and he has what seems to me sensible reasons for them. If you chose to disagree take it up with him. I was only pointing out the obvious at least I thought it was.......

A beta even with a flywheel weight (did it have one?) is not super soft. Pretty sure the 250 sherco i tried wasnt soft either, this had the hydria ignition i think.
