Well...... The VR's actually stopped in '74. The '75 model was the V-75 (duh) and the only real difference was that the shocks laid forward a lot more and had reservoirs on them. It also had white guards. Not much difference between that and the VA ('76) but then the first VB came along in 1977 with longer suspension, an up-pipe and a killer motor. I'm sure someone else can put the pics up or just have a look on the Southwest Montesa site.  ;)

Hey thanks for that I have been offered a 77 & was told that it was the same from 75 to 77, I know little about Montesa's but love the lines, I currently have lots of Suzuki & Honda's

Sorry but I think that's the '78... :P
'77 should have the rear frame loop and the muffler should be under the seat.

Motor was the same for those two years.  No major change in the Enduro motor until 1977
when they went to a 6 speed trans.  Your Enduro, could be an A, H or K model from 1974 to 1976.

Yes. All fixed. The pictures I was putting into photobucket were too large. I downloaded a resizer and now all is good.
Do you think I should do a before and after topic on this poor VB 360?
