rr62 Report post Posted September 1, 2020 I really do like the M graphic on the tank. Nice. Less keen on some of the other clip art style graphics across the rest of the bike (that awful ‘Montesa’ on the seat area - just looks terrible - same on the 2020 4RT). Never quite understand the need to have so much going on - less is definitely more. The bikes look awesome and don’t need so much unnecessary (& poorly designed) fuss on graphics. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lineaway Report post Posted September 1, 2020 Well they just finally beat out Beta for the worst fender design ever. Did they use a `57 chevy bel air or a F`14 fighter jet for the idea??? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did they use a `57 chevy bel air or a F`14 fighter jet for the idea??? Might look weird but is very effective. The end flare keeps the mud off your back - something that the last design did not do -(I used to run pre 14 rear mudguards on my 15 - 260 and 300RR when wet and boggy as more effective) and the ridges help give some strength but also take the knocks first and hence protect the plastic and stickers down in the valley so maintaining appearance. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldlegs Report post Posted September 2, 2020 I much prefer the plain ally frame which shows off the welding around the head stock 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neils on wheels Report post Posted September 2, 2020 Crikey! That’s a long winded way to say “new stickers”. Does the PR agent get paid by the word? I’ll write the 2022 press release for them now. “It ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Reggie Report post Posted September 5, 2020 Next year's model will be back to red 😍 I've just bought a grey one and love it but I reckon the colour will date quickly (have some red bits coming). Not so keen on the black fork boots... But underneath all that, same great bike 👊 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retromlc Report post Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) I know they made a lot of changes for the 2020 engine braking wise, but they should make them lighter, but it may compromise their reliability reputation, I love my '20. If they shaved 4 kg off it I'd buy one Edited September 21, 2020 by retromlc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
