Neill_k Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm sure this has been asked 100 times but I'm looking to find out the year of a montesa I'm looking to buy. Guy says it's 03 or 04 but it has a carbon tank and frame decals which I think are 1998/1999 , I have pictures of the bike and a frame number if anyone could help me out? Second question is once I've found out the year What's a fair price to pay for it? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilko Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 As above should be 97 as for price it's what someone is willing to pay,but big difference between 97 and 2003,i know there used to be a bit of a cult following of these,but i had 1 and sold it within a week just couldn't get on with it.

Yea I was pretty sure it was 1997 model but guy said he had log book saying it was 2003 , I'll have to speak to him again and tell him he's wrong. As for buying it , I was wanting to buy it to turn into a repsol replica , more a project to work at rather than a bike to ride. Thanks for your reply and help with the year, very much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 prices have dived abit this is the most undesirable model, but they are a great clubman bike, id say closer to £1100 would be right, but it looks lightly used at first glance.

Bilko Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Might be registered in 2003 but still a 97 model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 1997 was the white and yellow model think this is a 98 as design and colour scheme matches other 98s on intyweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Offer £800 and settle at £890 its not worth any more. The fact that the logbook shows a later year of registration is only an indication of when its been put on the road. Bilko has given you the information to help you get the price down. Ask the owner if he has any purchase information for his purchase of said bike. You are the one paying the money and the bike is already of dubious year, play on this and walk away if necessary, but leave a contact number.....they might give in to you. Unless they belong to TC and are reading this!?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho247 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Going by the colour scheme of the plastics it’s a 1998 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
