edholland Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hop blip and a jump Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 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!

hovis Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 none......... the mont if i had to depending on condition, but im thinking you will be paying about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edholland Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) 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 Cheers, Edited December 4, 2007 by EdHolland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovis Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Even Rev3 fans know to give the 2003 a miss..cinder toffee casings,the same as the othersun-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 rangeHTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 If that were my choice it would be a Sherco over a 315. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edholland Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) 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 ?
