2005 4RT - worth it?

So there is a used 2005 4RT for sale - looks in pretty decent shape - not sure of the hours though. I have a GG 2000 TXT280 and like it a lot, but its really worn out. I am new to trials bike (been riding enduro) but absolutely love it for the highly technical trails we have out here. For a newbie I understand that a remapping would be in order. And perhaps the clutch might need to be changed out.

But were the 2005s and OK year for the 4RT? Anything I should watch for?

And to make matters worse - there is a 2008 Beta Rev 4T for about the same price. *sigh*

thanks

Don

Both work well as "long ride" bikes with the Beta the Better all round Trials bike as it's a bit softer and easier to Trial. There is a couple of Photos of a converted Beta Here.

The Montesa has better outright power and overall is a better long distance bike. Similar kit to that on the Pictured Beta is also available.
