I had no idea that there was a Montessa/Honda trials bike (not that I keep up with it all that much) — pretty wild How long have those been around? I know a guy down in Austin that rides trials. He restored an old KT250 a few years ago that looked like it turned out really slick. I must admit that Kawasaki green looked particularly good on that bike.

I think Honda has had 85% ownership of Montesa since about 1985. Built in Japan and assembled at the Montesa plant in Barcelona per the agreement with the Spanish government. Previously imported into the US through LewisportUSA until about 2010(?). Not imported again until 2014 when they became available through Honda dealers. Listed on the MSO as a Honda.
The 4RT260 & 300RR models can be found on Honda USA's website in the Offroad -Competition section. Repsol Team Honda is pretty serious about trials and Spanish rider Toni Bou (22 indoor and outdoor World titles) has has been riding the Montesa since 2007. Here's a quick sample:

About the above: In my dreams

BTW - jedd rides a Beta trials bike in Austin.
