I got a Fantic Section a few weeks ago and the bike is not bad but needs work first it was the engine now the clutch is bad. It,s just waiting what will go next and i need something more reliable for next year so i have been looking around for something newer/better.

Found a Sherco 2.9 and a Montesa 315 both 2002 and about the same price. What bike would you buy and why ?

Tia,

I'd buy the 315r!!

The mont has got better suspension, build quality, and reliability than the sherco.

and the sherco engine is like a crosser comapred to the mont!

HONDA - what else can i say!!

Get it bought bruvva!

none.........

the mont if i had to depending on condition, but im thinking you will be paying about

Hovis thats, right i,m looking around 2000 euro. The Beta is the best looking bike i think so it gets a better price here it seems ? same year will cost around 700 eur (500 pound ?) more for a nice one.

But i dont mind paying more if it,s a better bike : )

Score :

3x Montesa

1x Beta

1x Sherco

Even Rev3 fans know to give the 2003 a miss..cinder toffee casings,

the same as the others

un-common coil set up

?

and... yellow!?

and? oh you mean its not red like all the others

.....2002 or 2004 surely.. if you really must.

i would have a 03 before a 02, & i thought the 04 was out of his price range

HTH

If that were my choice it would be a Sherco over a 315.

Beta............. its true

Thanks guys

De Montesa is sold by a dealer and costs a bit more but it,s ready to go i think that would be best for me. The only Beta on sale here now is a 99 model it looks a bit like a Rev3 but it,s a previous model i think ?
