I always found that a bonus back in the 80's especially in the mud we have here in the south.Also for really big climbs the 4th gave you that bit more speed so a positive for me.

gearbox on bulto is good of course, and the swm always seems like it needs tuning.

Even when a country (like spain) is on its arssse there is always someone whose business survives and thrives. Look at vertigo. Sammy going to spain made a turning point but trials would have survived either way or another im sure. Riding bikes off road is what we did and always will regardless of bikes manufacturers stars wtc and even advice from dadoff.....

All this personal stuff from sweeden and leicester is all very well but as james has said above theyve had the chance and it didnt work out. Unless Joan Gurt can pull the rabbit out the hat.

Turn it into repsol? Ride the thing! What was your previous bike?

Very helpful James well done

That's empty words Ian and foolish. I said above buy whichever bike you like,if you want to its your choice but proves nothing. 1 bike isnt going to save any company especially this one. Pleased for you to come on here and prove me wrong in 6 months, or the opposite.

What do you think overheads are on the factory including wages for a month or two? More than profit on 3000 bikes? My guess is enduro bikes never made a dime.

If they had any money why go to gas gas in the first place? It may be a dream but where is the money going to come from to set up, again? they had a factory it went they had a truck it went they had fajardo and colomer and others they went The common theme here is no sales =no money

This is why i ask, have they taken ownership? Google translating some quote Daddyboy doesnt answer the question, moreover if they have taken over and money changed hands why no press release and statement. Atom, maybe they have a special kind of rose tinted glasses in Catalunya cos someone gave them 47m credit and Torrot think whats left is worth 7m?

I think as a day to day bike the Bulto is better.The swm had better power and suspension and brakes, but by 82 the modified bulto (comerford specials) were probably closer.

Dadoff you ever been to australia (38 dgrees he said)? To expect every trials bike to be capable of every conditon worldwide is silly in the extreme. Especially for 7k (which bike ais 7k?) Oh dear indeed.

whats the phrase? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing? Huski follow James's advise ignore dadilyoffs.

The 2016 probably needs to be re jetted from the factory settings for uk unleaded, id try 128 main 44 pilot and 3 slide. From memory.

So have torrot paid the money over and own the company?

impressive.

..and only 5 speed! Why was that?

Unless you throttle control isnt that great i would always prefer a 250. If you get a big climb or something which requires a bit of go a 125 is always more difficult to manage in the power band. Try before you buy!

thanks charlie nice to get back on thread.

as stated eleswhere , niche within a niche.

These 250's are worth alot in Spain. The sprocket is wrong size by look of it.

new plug? what model carb? what model gg? what year?
