eminem Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 hi looking to get another bike and am looking at 2003 montesa 315r or 2008 beta rev 3 200/250. are they comparable bikes and as good as each other for general trials use / mucking around i have heard the montesa may be more durable than the beta??

pindie Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 The Beta wil be very nice. The Montesa may be nicer for longer. Depends on starting condition. I'd go Beta 200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naichuff Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I had a 99 315r It was reliable but I could not do more than three laps before it took over I have a 03 Beta 200 it suits my riding style My friend has an 08 200 Beta and I cannot ride it as the set up is different in both power and suspension You will just try them out to find what suits you both Beta and the 315r are well put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Can't argue with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 2003 v 2008....? Buy the 2008 it will be nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I agree. If you have the money it will be way nicer. You can tone down sharp power etc but it is hard to polish a turd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
