Montesa - Some Explanation

[BAHNZY]

To be honest i diddn't know much about Montesa's till i started to compete against Rosco. I would like to think that i understand most marques and models but when it comes to the Montesa i have no idea what the VE,VG etc means other than Holden Commodore model codes.
Any chance those who dont know the model and capacity, MX Vs Enduro can be educated by the Montesa crew?

Take a look at Southwest Montesa site.  Lots of great info, and a gallery of photos.

Lots of droolworthy machines.

The first "V" model was the VR (Vekhonen Replica), followed by the VA, VB, VE, VF and VG (no VD or VE models. VD is obvious and apparently VE has equally dodgy connotations in Spain).

I stand corrected.

you forgot the VE VF VG

Trials bikes aside, are all bikes the same, MX and Enduro?
Is an Enduro bike nothing more than a MX bike with a head & tailight.

And you forgot the Mightiest of them all, the VH valiant!
