D'oh. Just re-read this. The Sherco like the Beta REV50 is a "Small" wheeled Manual bike. As such they are designed for "D" class at the moment. Most of the Juniors in YG's small wheels go to the REV50 from the Autos at the moment. It's easier to handle and they compete on the same courses. They tend to be in between the Full size Bike and the TY80/autos. The Sherco can still complete in this class as it is the same size wheels as the REV50. I have only only seen one tho. (And REV80's and GG70/80's compete as well). My Sons old REV50 was sold to a lad doing just that moving from a Beta Auto 50 and according to his dad he has cut his marks total in half and as he has bedded in on the bike is going to win very Soon (Nice ride sunday Ricky). HOWEVER the 80 cc limit for C class is not going to be implemented for a while yet. (This was documented on a thread when we were all on TA Forum). So It does'nt matter at the moment that its 100cc as the current 125 limit will continue for at least two more years. By which time U should be in B class which will be 125cc anyway. I would be wary about C class if He hasn't ridden a manual before. Four have moved up from Small wheels in YG and they are finding the Sections difficult on C class 125's in club trials. In beginners trials you should be okay. P.S. Seen two new Beta 80's with starting problems. Don't know what they are but last years didn't have em.

Seemingley only leaves the GASGAS or the Beta. I was going to wait for the Sherco last year until I heard the News. Most clubs in this area now just run "Small-Wheels" for bikes under 100cc.

Has anybody got a solution. The best I have heard is to use the rubber draught excluder but our 04 125 has a gap between the rear of the airbox and the lower part of the frame! If this is best where do u apply the excluder. P.S. tried sealent but it keeps coming out!

We use Silkolene FST to stop that happening.

Sorry I thought four went thru to the final so why wasn't Jarvis there? Who changed the rules?? (Sorry stupid question its in Spain).

Its my Son who uses it and Practice is making perfect. Obvious problems are that everything is full size and the weight and size of a 12-year old do mean that the grip is in short supply even when running the rear tyre pressure very low. In that respect the "softer" power delivery of the Gas Gas and Beta are better. The pay-off of course is as he gets bigger it will be a better all round bike!

Having A few people try it out I'd say the 04' Sherco 125 has a power advantage over the 03 and also over the Beta and GasGas 125's. Using it is another problem.

the forecast is dry and Sunny if a bit cold.

Couple of weeks before Chris got his 125 Sherco I lad swopped his 2003 Beta 250 for Chris's REV50 to try. It took us a while to get it back because He was having Fun on it!!

Anybody going? I'm hoping to get there early as the Parking was a bit churned up on Sunday.

Probably goes back to the days when a 250cc road bike was the largest a 17 year old could ride without a full licence. Now that 125 is the largest (throughout europe I believe) that is what the FIM have settled on. I think that in the states they have 125 MOPEDS in some states and licences are not required in others for "small" bikes.

I'm Sealing around any gaps under the read guard with Silicone sealer. (125 04 model). I would say tho that if anybody does do a guard similar to that on the Beta's that basically blocks mud going forward I would be very interested.

Yep Dougie Came off on the same obsticle as Fujigas. The "Cigarette packets" (Now bike boxes). Fuji Broke the handlebars on his bike and cracked his ankle. Dougie just bashed his Knee. Both were very dramatic from My position and they did call for first aid for Fuji.

Was a really good trial!

Didn't see Her at Dob Park but We left early after the trial as the Car park was iced up and everybody was making an ass of themselves on it. (Including My Son who Had to buy some new bars out of his Christmas Money as he laid the bike down fast enough to bend his!). Heard a few other "names" fell over themselves so laid off him later!!

He got a Sherco 125 in for My Son!

I have bought from all the following and found them all Helpful, all will give u advice and let u try bikes If they have them. TW are usually around any time unless there is a local club holding a trial in which case they will be there instead! (Richmond, Ripon, Yeadon Guiseley) They will be at the Reeth trial on the 26th and Steve told me The Yeadon Guiseley on the 28th). www.twbikesport.co.uk www.rpmmotorcycles.co.uk <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central> White Bros 01325483121 D.M.S.

Didn't we have this out on the TA website a while back. My Son is the trials rider and is nearly 12 and if somebody told him u couldn't take photo's I'm sure u would get an appropriate reply. (He's in the Bo'Selecta generation so the reply might surprise some who are not parents). Yes I can see problems at swimming or gymnastic events. I even got comments about taping My Daughters Christmas play. Those were in jest by the way but u can see the way things are going. Like most dads in "small-wheels" we look out for the kids as we don't want them injured or upset but at times u wonder wheather to stand back or not. I trust the dads there and have had no problems at all and lets face it if the kid is happy (and in my case I make it very easy for him to say if he has problems) then all u do is go with it. If u interfere the kid isn't going to make it. Too many are unable to cope with life as it is. Rant over. Next subject.

My Son has tried both the 125 Beta and Sherco and found the Beta's power delivery "Soft" and the bike generally heavy. Pesonally I prefer the build and detailing of the Beta but for an 11-year old it doesn't ride as well as the Sherco.

Yep Steve at TW has Beta's now, And if u want to stay dry they have Indoor sections as well!!!!

Got it back on but still didn't work just starts dying after a couple of minutes.

We've got Hospitality tickets! Mind it is part of My Sons Christmas present!

Of course f the damn thing would run right and if I could get the bl~~dy airbox back on it after cleaning out the carb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

You could try TW He has a Real Demo area and has all the Shercos. He's near Ravensworth Just off the A66.

The Current Sherco 125 in the UK is listed at
