big john Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Sorry to hear that the US has no 2008 model year Montesa 4RT. I was beginning to wonder why there is such a shortage of these machines. Currently, I have a 2006 model 4RT and would happily buy another...

dan williams Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Careful Neil, Not only does Martin have ways to track you down but he's a big guy who could rip your arms off and beat you with them. Heh heh just kidding. (or am I?) Hi Martin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh heh just kidding. (or am I?) Hi Martin! Your right, I won't think he is quite as funny when he comes over here and beats the crap out of me. But since I practicaly list my address it won't be too hard to find me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin belair Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Neil, if you come by the Montesa pits at the TTC WR we'll have a beer and laugh about it. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil king Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'm going to get to go. Sounds like fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil king Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 That doesn't explain why it took over 2 years to sell all the 05's. And I'm not talking about the Importer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masso Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 So what I'm not really clear on is if there are any '08 Montesa' anywhere for sale?? Are they sold out everywhere or could an enterprising individual get one from another country and just ship the thing to North America? dude....we have them up here in british columbia canada [trials paradise] canadian distributor is dallan cycles....................................................................dallan @dallanmotorcycles.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motovintage Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) The US market situation is being re-evaluated at the Factory/Importer level. We will see what happens for 09.Martin Belair not really sure what this means but I would only hope that montesa reconsidered building a 2 stroke for certain markets, such as the US that are not controlled for emmisions such as a "closed course" only bike like our 2 and 4 stroke race bikes, I saw a lot of new beta 2 strokes this year, I understand 4 stroke trials bikes were forced on us since they have to be street legal in europe and 2 strokes won't pass emissions testing, no dirt bike or trials bike could be legaly ridden on US roads unless it was modified to DOT standards. so why not a 2 stroke closed course only designation, my bet is they would sell better than the 4T Christopher Edited March 17, 2008 by MotoVintage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_pa_usa Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I was able to buy a leftover '07 from Dallan. Their support was great and it was zero trouble getting it into the US. Now, coming from a vintage Mont, I just have to figure out what to do with it! - Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
