October 19, 200916 yr I was told that the 4RT was maybe- eventually to be marketed and branded as a Honda and sold through Honda dealers-Hence that Sandifords hasn't been a Honda dealer for a while now and is now no longer the Montesa importer! I would love to see them branded as Hondas and sold in a honda shop as opposed to not having them at all, the honda dealers in the US as far as I know don't want them, to many other related expenses like special tools, service manuals, & training schools for a bike thay might sell one or two of. being a huge Montesa fan and an owner of one trials model from each decade from '60's to '90's and an enduro model as well as a motocross model, I would rather keep with the Montesa brand. sadly I will probably be going beta on the next trials bike I buy due to the fact they still produce a 250 2 stroke.

December 11, 200916 yr Sorry, these 2 lines are not in the press release. These two either President of Honda Montesa Sr Eduardo Bigas has confirmed that production of the Cota 4RT will continue at the Honda Montesa facility in Spain, presumably when the overstock of 2009 models are sold.
December 11, 200916 yr These two either Got that quote from TodoTrial: Al llegar a Todotrial la noticia sobre el ERE de Montesa, contactamos con la marca y recibimos la siguiente contestaci Edited December 11, 200916 yr by Martin Belair
February 4, 201016 yr Just received my center handbook and noticed an advert on the back for Montesa at the local Honda dealership.
February 4, 201016 yr so tell us who that is then? Pidcocks in Derby Pidcocks Honda I'd imagine its all Honda dealers, just happened to notice their advert on the back page of the East Midlands Centre handbook.
February 5, 201016 yr Full page ad in t&mx this week. Perhaps an advert of an 05 is not going to install any kind of confidence in their aptitude for the job?
February 6, 201016 yr Perhaps an advert of an 05 is not going to install any kind of confidence in their aptitude for the job? Hmmm, yes why stick a photo of an '05 in the advert I ask myself, even an '09 photo would have been more representative of the current model? Big John
February 6, 201016 yr I can see all this going real well with the service gits that have never seen one!
February 6, 201016 yr Im guessing any Honda dealer taking on the Trial bike will be sent down to Honda UK Chiswick,London. (thats where it used to be anyway) for a couple of days training. Crikey it's no big deal,it's just an engine in a frame and a couple of wheels.

Half the posts on this forum would dry up if that was the case!
February 6, 201016 yr its nothing to do with honda uk Who's importing them into the uk?? Looking on the web the trail stops at sandiford's or are dealers ordering the bike from spain and it comes through the post.
