when,I first got my onza t-bird i was impressed with the overall design of the bike. I was satisfied with the standard of the bike for the price i bought it for.

I would reccomend this bike to any beginner trials rider because this bike helped me get to where i am today.

iam not very pleased with this bike,especially the 2004 model i do not like the hs 11 because the levers are very long so there for harder to grip,the bashplate is not that nice how it has been constructed as it has to bent bars just welded on.apart them it is a nice bike p.s this bike is a cheaper version of the t-pro!!

they may have copied montys geometry but i really dont care, this bike is awsome and cheap
