Great looking bike, my friend is looking for a montesa to buy.
Sorry, if the bike was manufactured in 1977 its eligible.

Have a look at the minutes from the Commissioners meeting. You'll see that the VB is now kosher for pre '78 as long as they comply with the 9'' limit.

'77 Husky, Maico and Montesa all suspension travel restriction to 9" front and rear to be totally legal. Other bikes are allowed to do heaps of performance improvements while these three are handicapped  :-\.

LOVE THAT OSSA, THAT IS VERY SEXY.
I know a fellow with that model in this shed.
I had a SWM MC 125,and sold it, very regretable sale and it is also shitting in a shed doing nothing here in geelong, but it was a 79 model.
