Honda Montesa 4RT Repsol LE description

2006 Honda Montesa Repsol 4RT Limited Edition #948 Trials bike named “Tessa”

 

I bought this 4 stroke fuel injected trials motorcycle five years ago and am the 2nd owner. It came from Tec Cycles (no longer in business), in CA and was owned by an advanced rider who after only 2 rides decided to go back to the traditional 2 stroke Sherco. I think it sat at this small dealership for a while when I found it and had it shipped to me. When I bought this bike I installed an hour meter and currently it has 34.9 hours on it…not very many! I am a former BMW motorcycle mechanic and have dutifully maintained this bike throughout the years but I just don’t ride it much and I have 2 Husaberg enduros that I ride almost daily J so I am listing this bike so someone else can have fun with it.

 

It is a fun easy to ride trials bike that I’ve been using as a trail bike and log jumper on my own land. I have never competed on it since I’m more of a single track and dual sport rider. I have it set up for an intermediate rider but based on your skill level that can vary. The Honda Montesa Repsol 4RT was ground breaking in that it has electronic fuel injection without a battery and has usable power that makes it easy to ride over and through anything which is why I bought it. I have 50 acres of hilly woods and use it as my proving bike for new trails many of which feature tight trees, off camber turns, and logs. Enduro cross here we come.

 

The Repsol models were limited competition edition trials bikes that were typically imported via Canada into the US in limited numbers and most of them went to Europe for serious riders. Toni Bou won 9 World Championships on the Repsol Montesa 4RT http://trial.hondaracingcorporation.com/rider/toni-bou/   Here’s more information from Rick Ramsey on the Montesa 4RT as he makes his a trail bike after going through numerous other dual sport bikes. First some history on 4RT’s http://rickramsey.net/Cota4RT2005.htm  then what he’s done to his Montesa for trails http://rickramsey.net/Montesa4RTmods.htm but much of it isn’t needed but it’s a fun read.  

 

This Montesa Repsol 4RT starts and runs perfect and many times sits for months at a time over the winter but in a couple of kicks she’s running! The Michelin tubeless trials tires are great for hobby use and really work well but it you’re a pro rider in competition you’d probably want to get fresh ones. I love how agile this bike is, it’s easy to ride and it pulls strong. It shifts and brakes well and has perfect balance over tough obstacles. I have enjoyed my time on it but I’m a Husaberg fan and after getting a 250 for single track riding I haven’t ridden this bike much over the past 2 years.

 

This month during the last 1 hours of time I did the following:

              New DID Gold chain, 44 tooth sprocket and 10 tooth countershaft sprocket

              Change engine oil, filter, o-rings. New case cover gasket (if you’ve had a trials bike you’ll know      what I mean but the flywheel cover has to come off when you do an oil change, a bit fussy)

              New kill switch

              New Vmar snail cams for better chain adjustment and range.

              New Vmar front fender risers 20mm for better clearance.

              I filed the aluminum S3 foot pegs for better grip.

             

 

15 hours ago I rebuilt the “dog bones” on the rear suspension. Change transmission oil. I have routinely change engine oil and air filters based on a 5 hour schedule or as needed. The valves are in spec.

 

30 hours ago I added the risers on the bars and front disk cover. I also cut down the handle bars to get through my tight woods and tried the white (slow) throttle but went back to the black (fast) throttle. I added a spark arrestor for my woods and a used mitani titanium header pipe and kickstand which comes in handy for trail riding. There are scrapes and scratches consistent with woods riding but nothing major that I’m aware of. Hours are at 35 but I may ride it some more but not much more.

 

New spares included are front brake pads, chain & master link, left side cover gasket & O-rings for oil change, bar pad, 9 tooth sprocket, air filter, oil filter, original header pipe and other stock bits. Repsol stickers. Other items that I cannot recall.

 

I live outside Frederic Wisconsin until Oct and then return to Savannah GA and could possibly delivery the bike to the buyer if it’s along the way. Other options are possible for delivery and I do have a wood skid for shipping it but live in a rural area of WI and would have to charge to ship and deliver to terminal near St. Paul MN. I can be reached at 651 270 3893 for questions but please be respectful of my time and I will of yours.  I do not need help selling this bike thank you, Colleen Staton


Finally I'll be at a dual sport rally this weekend for ADVrider.com so leave a message if I'm riding my Husabergs!

Honda’s New Documentary: Dreams vs Nightmares [trailer]

Wed, 24 Jun 2009

Honda have been releasing video documentaries on… well… everything!  Why?  Well to toot their own horn and remind you that Honda is crazy cool. Actually, their videos aren’t that bad, although somewhat dramatic.  I hunkered down and watched their “Failure: The Secret to Success” video and it held my attention. Their new video is titled “Dreams vs Nightmares”, which features a few notable people such as Clive Barker and Deepak Chopra.  I’m curious to see how they take this theme and use it to show how and why Honda creates and designs the products they make.

2014 WSBK – Assen Results

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Heavy rains and a fortuitous red flag were the difference in the World Superbike Championship‘s visit to The Cathedral of motorcycle racing, the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. Aprilia‘s Sylvain Guintoli captured his second win of the season in Race 1, which was halted early by a red flag with five laps to go just as it looked like reigning WSBK champion Tom Sykes was gearing up for a final challenge. The second race was also shortened, not by a red flag but because of a rain, turning the 21-lap race into a 10-lap sprint.

Helmet Law Upheld in Ontario

Tue, 16 Jun 2009

A Sikh in Ontario, Canada, has lost his challenge to the $110 ticket he received back in September 2005 for not wearing a helmet while riding his Honda Shadow.  Baljinder Badesha, 39, claims the Ontario helmet law is “100 per cent” discrimination no matter what the safety issues are when riding without a helmet. We cannot put anything over the turban, it is against our religion.  Mr. Badesha said outside court.
