Whats the pipe off it aint the montesa one thats for sure they go thru the frame over the top of the airbox on that model

No, it's a Monty pipe. Here another but very similar model. Essentially the same but plastic tank and a very cosmetic differences.

I can't follow the chronological progression of these enduro models. This seems to be a VR based frame which went fibreglass tank to a plastic tank and then the VB based frame also went fibreglass tank to a plastic tank, all around the same time or currently. And they all called H6.

Hi Graeme, I may be wrong but this looks more like a 1977 model that had a down pipe as per this pic.

'79 should have the twin cradle frame (centreport motor)

I agree this is close to '77. It and the ebay bike and the yellow one I would say are very close relatives with a side port motor and a VR based frame with LTR. But subtle differences. Either they went through three very close models 6 months apart or they produced the side port and centre port motors concurrently, which seems strange to me.

Apparently it's a Maico motor  .

This here is the VB enduro (all be it a 360).

They're not real Monties....

[Stan S]

What do you class as a Real Monty 414

Stan

[Freakshow]

more survived cause they all got parked, peices of crap...............

Hey NImmo that H6 i had here for a while and flogged to that bloke was the same as the yellow one except the up and over exited on the left side.   Maybe they were just using up bits they had left over, and every bike was parts bin unique .............

Only the Cappra's. All of them!

And their BMX bikes are pretty cool too......

That's probably close to the truth. More likely yours had a dodgy pipe on it Freaky.....
