Sound like they are aware of this thread  ::) :P

If they are so confident it is correct why did they pull the ad based on one persons opinion ??? VB or VE, its a bike that would sell on its merits. Obviously it would be worth more as a genuine VB or a genuine VE but it could still sell on its merits - especially to an uninformed or underinformed punter.

Representing it as a 414 when its a 360 would have probs with any astute buyer though.

Especially if they're buying sight un-seen (as indeed I did with mine).

Update: Gator was talking to Simmo a few weeks ago and he reckons that this bike is his old race bike (that he won VIPER on). 8)

I thought it looked familiar. It may not be a concourse anal resto Monty but it was/is a damn fast pre 80/Evo bike.
Paul, the easiest explanation is that it's the Montesa equivalent of a Frankenbike. Dave Simpson was shit fast on that bike, if fact he was 'the man' in Vic Evo 7 or 8 years ago.

Yeah as above.
I looked at it a couple of years ago and it looked pretty rough. I'm pretty sure a few bits aren't on it anymore (black rims VF tank etc). I didn't have a real close look as they were telling me it was a VF and I just turned around and walked out. Had a spare motor and a lot of other bits but they just wanted waaayyy too much.
