  • Very original early 1980s Montesa 200cc trials model
  • Ideal for competing in twin shock, air-cooled events
  • Being offered at 'no reserve'

Montesa was formed in Barcelona 1944 by Pedro Permanyer and Francisco Xavier "Paco" Bultó with their first model based on a French Motobécane. They soon began to produce their own engines and saw the advantage of competing in sports events to promote the brand. Bultó designed a 125cc roadster, which was tested in many of the trails and enduros that were popular in Spain at the time, and this model went on to enter the 1951 International Six Days Enduro ridden by Bultó and G. Cavestany. In 1958 chief designer Bultó left, starting his own company under the Bultaco brand name, beginning many years of fierce competition between the two companies. Together with another Spanish firm Ossa they went on to dominate trials events in the 1970s/80s/90s with Montesa alone winning numerous world championships.

This very original early 1980s Cota 200 is being offered at no reserve and would make an ideal bike for competing in twin shock and air-cooled events. The bike runs but the vendor reports it needs a new intermediate kickstart gear. Being designed for off-road use only, there are no documents included in the sale.
