1998 315r - What's It Worth?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Does anyone know what a 1998 250cc 315R is worth?

Cheers,

I echo above and add this

I got back into trials last year after a 10 year off due to asthma.

I was advised to get a 315 or a scorpa, but was told to do my homework as there are loads out there.

I looked at about 5 02 315s ranging from 850 to 1350. all needed some work, the usual bearings linkages and fork seals and maybe chain and sprockets and one wanting a full motor rebuild.

I wanted something trial ready .I tried to get a 98 315 off a mate. he worked on the rigs and had drifted out of trials. The bike he had bought new and had looked after it well. it needed nothingand it was

well got my 99 on ebay its all sorted ready to go new tyres all linkages done fork seals ok and some spares to go with it also taxed and mot for 10mths

just bought a 08 4rt

RDChair is right.

the good thing about 315's is that, as they hardly changed over the years, if you find a well looked after early one it's like getting a later one and great VFM.

You just have to bide your time and find a good 'en. What would you pay more for... an average/bit tatty 05 or a mint 99 with lots or receipts? given that, bar the forks and breaks, they are pretty much the same bike (i think!)

Mine is a 99 and i paid

Thanks guys!

I was asking as I'm thinking about selling mine. I got it a few months ago and I haven't really gelled with it.

I tried a couple of Rev3's at the weekend, and I instantly felt more at home on them. They don't have the same quality or solid feel as the montesa, but they feel a lot smaller and lighter which I preferred.

Not 'dissing the Montesa at all by the way! It's a great bike, I just don't think it's right for me.
