I can get this 2001 Montesa Cota 315R for $1150 or 750 GBP. What do you think of the bike from looking at the pictures?

Everything on the bike is in working order and the bike does not need any work so it is just to hop on and ride the bike

Well, i suuppose i will need to change the oil since the bike have not been used for some years according to the seller

 

I could off course paint the bike if i buy it 

 

Do you think i sould buy this Montesa Cota 315R? 

 

If i buy it i would like to get the bike looking like a Repsol bike  :thumbup:

 

I suppose the 315 R is the same bie in 2004?

 

 

Note that i already have a Gas Gas TX 320 that i just put on a 3,5 liter fuel tank(see the bottom picture)

It doesn't seem to be the best looked after bike.
Some things to expect on an older bike that's been in storage, or in other words, hasn't been maintained for years:
Rusted wheel-, linkage-, swing arm- and steering head bearings.
Corrosion in the brake and clutch system.
etc.
I think it's impossible to say if you should buy it or not from behind my PC.
Take someone with you to check out the bike, who knows his stuff.

Great if it is a 2002 model instead of 2001  :thumbup: What is the differenceof a 2001 vs a 2002 model?

 

Forgot to tell that the bike comes with a new rear fender and a new front fender  

 

If i buy it i would like to have the bike in Repsol decals and colours 

 

On my Gas Gas i have adjusters on both the left and right fork leg but on this 2001 Montesa Cota 315R it looks like there only is an adjsuetr on the right side fork.

Is the Montesa supposed  to only have a adjuster on the right fork or is one adjsuter missing?

 

See the red arrow on the picture below

at 750 you could break it and easily get your money back on parts. .like its been said its an old bike but a very good model and at the price I am sure you may be able to shave a few more quid off . its up to you a punt people have spent far more on bikes and they have turned out to be lemons but 750 don't sweat it .
