darrensn Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Anyone know when the 2009 4rt is due to be released ? Any news on changes ? Wanting to buy an 08 4rt but is it worth waiting for 09 ? Is the beta 4t as good a buy as a 4rt ? Any help appreciated ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectiononecleaner Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 4rt's mate not till november at the earliest, usually last to come out. Scorpa tend to be first along with gas gas then betas around october. So take your pick. Dont reckon the 4rt will change much. I reckon still be black frame. I hope its still black anyway.

benbeta23 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) i'd say about mid november, montesa are always last to have their release of the new bikes edit: the beta's 4t look like good bikes are sound well but the 4rt is probably a better idea to go for mate Edited July 27, 2008 by GasGasben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsurfer Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Better build quality, fuel injected---and it's a Honda!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Better build quality That's a matter of opinion (marshmallow sump plates?) fuel injected Hmm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbeta23 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 the engines of a 4rt are built by HONDA who know a lot more on how to build engines than beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 the engines of a 4rt are built by HONDA who know a lot more on how to build engines than beta So the engines used by Beta, Sherco, GasGas, Scorpa etc. are all ****e compared to the mighty Honda?

postmanpat Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 So the engines used by Beta, Sherco, GasGas, Scorpa etc. are all ****e compared to the mighty Honda? Yeh they are!!!! Beta-stators,Sherco-mains spinning,Gasgas breakdown more than they run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinell Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Yeh they are!!!! Beta-stators,Sherco-mains spinning,Gasgas breakdown more than they run. I've owned a Sherco and it spun its main bearings. The frame was made out of tin cans, the peg hanger snapped off the frame and the forks twisted after each drop off. That experience put me off Shercos for life as did their 4t disaster launch at the SSDT. I've not owned a GG but know plenty of folk who swear by them, they ride nice but need a bit more TLC than most bikes. Monts? Not owned one of these either but have had a good few rides on them. I don't like the front end, can't explain why but others have said the same. I spent a good few hours on a 4rt and liked the engine a lot. I've had 1 second hand Beta and 4 new ones - none have needed a stator and all have coped with my 'style' of riding (crashing). Yes the carbs leaked but this was easily sorted. Linkless rear suspension, Beta build quality, Tonka toughness and great engines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
