Just saw this on e-bay USA - does the asking price compare to that of buying one in the UK.

Is this model the latest and greatest most advanced modern trials bike available today.

Found this in Spain - 8099 Euros about $10,600

Hardly, it is essentially the same as it was when the model first came out years ago. For example, others now have injection without the need for a ridiculously high tickover to keep things charged up.

I think you can get them cheaper than $13,795.00 here,does take a little time to get it all arraigned and accomplished.

With the current exchange rate, that price on eBay is around £8570. Here in the UK, Pidcocks Honda, sale the Montesa 4RT Repsol for £6995, so it's quite a bit over and that's not taking into consideration a discount on that price. However, I guess in the States, if it's not officially imported normally, then if you were to do it yourself, with all the import duties etc, it would probably be about that price (only guessing, as I don't know your tax system).

As to whether it's the latest greatest, most advanced Trials bike available, It's the most advanced 4 stroke Trials bike. It's based on the original 4RT, that came out in 2005, however, Honda Montesa have refined and updated it over the years and in my own personal opinion, it is the greatest ;-) Many may disagree, but that's their right to do.

If you want to find Honda Montesa in the UK, you need to search, Pidcock Montesa, they are the UK importers.

Thanks for the info guys - UK site - got it.

Cheers,

Trolling e-bay again.

Now a week later the asking price just dropped by $3,000 to $10.795.

Still Mucho deniro amigos,

A common spanish phrase that is directly translated in english as much money, but it is in fact meant to mean a lot of money. "Mucho dinero" is the way the phrase is used in general but using proper spanish grammar it should be said as "muchos de dinero."
