With that 349 motor, no problems with the drag of the caterpillar drive system.
Wonder why they retained the front mudguard?

Hey Ross, What do you mean all Montys stopped after 1982?

That snow equiped 349 would be an interesting bike/thing. I have one of those bikes and the frame and swingarm are not exactly over engineered. After all it is a trials bike built to be as light as possible. I think flex would be more than a minor issue unless the frame and swingarm have been totally re-engineered. The sump guard forms the lower part of the frame and the swingarm is lighter than most pre LTR 125 MX's.
