February 6, 201016 yr Half the posts on this forum would dry up if that was the case! Free words are allways the best words,however if you don't know how to put those words into actions then the free words are worthless.
February 15, 201016 yr I heard from my local bike shop, today that the montesa will cease to be made after 2012. He reckons he was told that they have enough parts to make the bikes for the next 2 years and then thats it? Apparently they are just not shifting the units. I never asked about his source but he's not any kind of bull****ter I just thought it strange that I hadnt read it anywhere like TMX first??
February 15, 201016 yr Perhaps an advert of an 05 is not going to install any kind of confidence in their aptitude for the job? Well, said Nigel. If you don't know the diff between an 05 and an 09 you are off to a bad start.

All Japanses factories use "just in time" system so they do not STOCK parts in inventory. This is just another rumor.

This whole topic is based on rumour, assumptions, guesses and opinions of soothsayers who are 'in the know'. eg: Recent post said it has nothing to do with Honda UK, but it is now 5 day old news that Honda UK have appointed Pidcock's sole Montesa dealer and that bikes are expected into the UK in early March

Thought just popped into my head that there may well be an element of fact in that the 4RT (as a model) will be 7 years old in 2012 ??? The real question is, does Honda and/or Montesa have plans for a new model for 2013 ? Just a thought. GaffaMont.

February 17, 201016 yr At the end of the day Montesa and Honda Must have an Research and development department. It would be hard to imagine that Montesa have sat back and just partially developed the 4rt over the past five years and not funded development on a newer generation bike. Personally I love to see a Montesa Enduro bike based around the 4rt but I am sure that would be counter productive as it would compete with the crf x range. But all this is pure speculation. No one really knows apart from the top brass at Montesa and Honda Europe.
February 18, 201016 yr much better bike than the 315 though . cant compare sales as different times and 2t to 4t price difference
February 18, 201016 yr So Why is the 4rt so much better than a 315? - to my un-educated mind it seems like a 315 with a 4stroke engine in it. I'd love to see a new Mont 2 stroke, Sherco, Ossa, Gas Gas & Beta make the Monts seem so bulky and old. That said i dont like how far Sherco and Beta have gone with 'Skinny' . Pure asthetics thing though (well i am a designer!) I like the chunky ruggedness of monts, it's just they seem so old now - i'd loike to see a totally new 2T model
