Anyone know why sherco have gone for the fuel,tank back in the conventional place on the new models? Just curious why they have fine away from the tank at the back opposite exhaust

I thought the same too, as they seem to have ironed out the problems.

Better air flow i would guess, on the new one its almost straight from carb to filter

Not as likely to get dirt in tank when refueling in a wet and muddy trial

Cheaper to make more profit?

 

To keep things in line with their other marque; Scorpa?

 

As Ham said, Plastic is cheaper than the cost of alloy fabrication and a fuel pump. I hear they have put the cheaper Dunlops on the new bikes too!

Because the Scorpas were making more power !!! With the tank in the proper place and the airbox under the rear fender, using the identical motors the Scorpas were out performing the mighty sherco's. So much for Shercos great ideas all to be found usless by a french bike Ha Ha Ha. Guess they decided the Scorpa was better now that they are using their frame . At least Sherco riders get a choice on color Orange or Blue

Im sure with the demise of Gas Gas the idea was to get some of those customers with a more convential layout?

I don't know of anyone who bought a Sherco because of where the air box was...or wasn't?

Is it a deal breaker for people in your part of the world Nige?

So the model with the tank at the rear had a fuel pump? I have a 03 sherco and looking at upgrading at somepoint. 2012-2014 shercos in my price range

You know the troubles they had at first with fuel etc so yes people were initially put off.But having refined it it was fine when they changed back.

No Scorpas are French ! Shercos are Spanish, Sherco just happens to Own Scorpa and provide power plants. Scorpa has never built their own engines. They started with Rotax, then went to leftover Yamaha Tyz Crapper engines, and now Sherco engines!!! But at least they can build a good frame obviously!! As Sherco said (hey why cant we do that)

Scorpa / Sherco made in same factory, owned by Sherco. Also everyone think about future, are they setting the bike up for EFI ?

Oh God, I've lied to my French girlfriend again! I've just texted to tell her that my new bike (Scorpa) was French.
