April 9, 200818 yr As previously posted, I have recently returned to trials after a big lay off, and was never up to much of a standard due to just mucking about on the farm as a kid and not entering trials. BUT it is now all systems go and I am full of beans and enthusiasm to really have a go at getting a lot of practice in to improve and enter trials. I currently own the Scorpa and I am enjoying it. But.... I have the option of getting an immaculate 2006 Sherco 290 for a good price. I have ridden a 2005 Sherco 290 a few times and it feels good. Is the 290 going to prove to be a bit of a handfull? or is that scare mongering from some quarters? Help! Your comments would be much appreciated, thanks... Edited April 9, 200818 yr by Rhino
April 10, 200818 yr Hey Rhino, Don't worry about the oomph of a 290 it is an easier bike to ride than the 250 (IMHO). All of the Shercos I have owned have been very tune-able(de-tune-able?) according to how you set the timing. Don't despair about getting rid of your Scorpa ,as you pointed out you will still have a use for it....just hitch it up to that muck-spreader on the farm and it will be in it's element!! O-arhh-o-arhh Cue:-Bombing run from the Scorpa owners club
April 12, 200818 yr Author It looks like i may soon be the owner of a shiney Sherco 290.... Any more comments or votes before I commit?
