August 12, 201115 yr I'm looking to get a trials bike and one of these has just came up for sale near menand It looks lovely, are they a good bike and do these models have the switchable engine maps? Is it just a gimmick, cheers in advance
August 12, 201115 yr I rode one...a 2008 I think? (black and pink graphics?) . I couldn't tell any difference with the 2 stage ignition timing but I could tell the difference with the rear shock....nice
August 12, 201115 yr Author It's black, red and yellow, black frame, it's up for 2k, does that seem about right?
August 12, 201115 yr If you like a classic Sherco it is a good model. I agree the mapping variation is hardly noticable - only maybe flat out but I don't recall the rear shock being anything but the usual Olle issue. It should have a Keihin carb which feels a lot different to the standard Dellorto. It is a bike that could become collectable maybe like say a good Raga Replica Gasser 300.
August 12, 201115 yr I believe your looking at an 07. No Caby's in 08, though they did have the 10th annvesary edition that year with a silver frame. As for the map switch, we just remove ours. Makes no diffrance.
August 13, 201115 yr What do you mean by a classic sherco? It is conventional in design, as comparer to the '10 and up. Good bike if well kept, pricee according yet does not seem high to me.
August 13, 201115 yr Author Heres a link to the one I'm looking at http://autotrader.mobi/used-bikes/advert/201128401719651/viewing-1?PHPSESSID=0mta2qt3rbj59l98g8fg6qhms6
August 13, 201115 yr Hmm, The 07 Caby had the silver plastic. It also had the same style graphics & red rims as this bike, but graphics had silver in them instead of white. I don't know, maybe just no Caby's here in the U.S. in 08? Either way, nice looking bike
August 14, 201115 yr That's in Eddies at Sedgefield ain't it? Nice, but I'd say a bit of a handful for a first bike mate.
August 15, 201115 yr Author Yes I think it is at sedgefield, I havnt been through, just looked at the ad, I'm pretty sure I'd be ok with it, Iv rode bikes for 15 years and I think iv got pretty good throttle control, i might be totally wrong, once my r1 is sold ill go up and have a look at it, has he got many bikes on stock?

He had a few in last time I was through. Not a massive set up but a canny bloke. Sorry mate I thought you were wanting this as your first bike.
August 15, 201115 yr Author No offence taken lol, it might be to much for me, I'm not sure what to get yet, do you live near sedgefield? Where do you ride?
