jse Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Patric can go ahead and bash away , his new bike has been fully serviced ! I think the new bike will hold up well. I've been looking at the photos on the Web and Ryan's video tour of the new bike. Very impressive, the engineers have made some nice changes and are not afraid to try new things. Some grousing has been made as to the new fuel tank as to durability and weight placement, but my guess is that it will be fine. It centers the weight lower (gas weighs about 6.3 lbs per U.S. gallon) and I would think it will improve the handling to a certain degree. I've heard some concern as to the fuel pump, but it appears to be the standard Mikuni diaphram type and they are bulletproof and reliable, we use them in the shifter karts with no problems. Any time a new design is offered, there will be detractors. We ran into this when the bikes first went to water-cooling and there was a lot of talk about the weight, complexity and vulnerability but it was a positive change (well, maybe not the Yamaha YZ with the radiator behind the number plate.... My hat offs to the design engineers for the new Sherco! Can't wait to see one in person. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tryalsryder Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi all. I got to spend a little time on the new Sherco down in Kentucky today. I found it to be as much fun as Pat looks like he's having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leanin Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 How does it compare to the '09? Lets see a review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlracer Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 M a y b e you'll get to ride one soon, Leanin ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryalsryder Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 It's everything the 09 was plus: Better stopping power More balanced Lighter front end, which helps increase the bike maneuverability Great motor Easy to turn Looks better in person than the photos show Frame is narrower along the neck than I expected Overall: 2 thumbs up!!

leanin Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 M a y b e you'll get to ride one soon, Leanin ! A good friend will probably let me ride his, IF he ever gets it. You know I'm not very patient. In the MX/enduro/sport bike world, by now, the forums would be full of reviews of the new model by owners, friends of owners, and friends of friends of owners of the new model. Half the reviews would say the new model was like magic and riding it was almost like cheating. 1/4 of the reviews would say it sucked and had lots of inherent design problems. The other 1/4 would give some real insight into the bike. OK, I may be exagerrating, its more likely less than 10% would have real insight. Regardless, they're fun to read.

rlracer Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Leanin, I'm sure you will be high on the get to ride list when it gets here ! Then you can make your own judgment your 4-stroke or one of the latest 2-strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
