Title: Looking to upgrade from my Montesa 315
Post by: Tawmass on February 03, 2011, 10:12:42 pm
I currently have my '03 Montesa 315 Cota. I have someone who's very hot to buy it, so was looking to upgrade to something a tad newer, preferably a 2-stroker. Any suggestions? I keep being steered towards a Sherco, but not too many trials bikes out there at the moment. Any good used, newer bikes out there, let me know. Appreciate the input guys.

Check out RYPUSA.com for a list of used Sherco's and you can also check some of the other local clubs classifieds (links on club website). Locally I've not seen much for sale. Other sources are GasGas.com, Lewisport.com and Tec-cycles.com.

I have been looking since October to replace a 2000 sherco 125. They all have some issues but are all good in their own ways.
Gas Gas and Beta are also good options but you really should ride as many different bikes as you can to get a good idea of how different they are if you get a chance.
Good luck!

Hey David, thanks, those links were very helpful. I really wasn't aware that all the different brands of trials bikes had that many different personalities. Will do my best to try a bunch out.
thanks,

Thanks to those of you that replied in my search. I found a Montesa 4RT from a friend in S. Oregon - an offer I couldn't refuse. See you on the trails.
