I've seen monty enduro based on the VA style frame with a low pipe. e.g.



I've seen Monty Enduro's based on the VB. e.g.



But the ebay bikes looks like a VA with an Up pipe. Smart move, and an improvement for bush riding, but I don't think I've ever seen this model before. The pipe etc looks 'factory'. Have I been missing sumtink?

Whatcha reckon

Early version of this 54M Enduro.  Different seat and tank.  Notice the
dual shock mounting location.  Built from 1979 to 1982.  Say's they produced
800 units.

One of the questions is can it be reged??? Were they made as like an Honda XR style bike, ride in the bush then ride home??

Am I right Jared, with this model Monty reverted to a side port motor/barrel? I wonder why?

MX,

No they didn't revert to side-port barrell. On the 250 model enduro they just continued on with the 54M engine (based on VR/V75 73M engine) & frame, rather than adopt the centre-port barrell/engine/bike of the VB like they did with the big-bore class enduro.
