The museum was created from the initiative of Pere Permanyer, Montesa's founder, who always thought that a museum would be the best way to transmit to the next generations the history of a period and the work in which many people have participated. The museum gather the more representative motorcycles build by Montesa together with documents, catalogs and pictures illustrating the history of the catalan brand during its 50 years of life.
The LaCrosse model was primarily ridden on scrambles courses in America. These tracks were much smoother than typical European motocross. The LaCrosse had good power, used a 19” universal tire that worked well on groomed tracks, and was pleasing to the eye. Reliability could be an issue, much of this attributed to Spanish metallurgy that yielded soft parts. Typically Spanish, the Montesa had good fit and finish, was attractive to the eye, and looked “fast” standing still.
