Yes marvelous, best Cappra 125 VB I have seen on RUclips. It was my first motorcycle, with which I learned to change gears, etc ... it left me many vices, I took any other motorcycle and it seemed to me that it did not accelerate. Up to 6th accelerated more than a 850 Guzzi Lemans. La mejor Cappra 125 VB que en visto en RUclips. Fue mi primera moto, con la que aprendí a cambiar de marchas, etc.. me dejó muchos vicios, cogía cualquier otra moto y me parecía que no aceleraba. Hasta 6ª aceleraba más que una Guzzi Lemans 850. Thanks a lot!
My first MX bike. Went like the clappers but had really bad head shake up top- (the handle bars would slap the tank but it taught me to grip the bike with my legs and hang on with the throttle pinned). Mine had the original fuel tap which was basically a ball bearing in a ribber tube that you slipped forward or back to open and close the line. Fibre glass tank, rear sprocket that could be used for traction and I remember hanging onto the HT lead once and got a hell of a shock. I replaced the Bing carb for a Mikuni unit that made it run better- I think it was a 32mm. I wish I still had it but you do silly things as a teenager.
jeffahearn Hi Jeff what a good story and good to speak to someone who actually rode one of these little bikes back in the day. Thanks for your comments and thanks for taking the time to view my video’s.
Montesas were beautiful bikes!

@@monticlassictv Thank you for great clips to watch after work with a beer!
I had the 250 also had ball petcock.
Fast for its day.
Had separate oil for gear box and clutch.
Excellent quality bikes.
I had a 74 vr250 excellent never broke fast bike.
Ik heb er een jaar met wedstrijd gereden en regelmatig tussen de tweeenhalfs en kwam niets te kort
Very clean machine. From the position of the shock on the swingarm and the straight up angle of the shock it's about a "1975" model ?
How do you tell what CC they are ?
