May 16, 20233 yr Nothing against sherco 125s but those years of shercos with the inverted tank/air filter and fuel pump were never a great hit. Across all the capacity range. They went back to conventional setup in 2016 the same as the scorpa and were a good bike again Edited May 16, 20233 yr by faussy
May 16, 20233 yr Two main issues with the rear tanker Shercos. 1. The steering stop chops through/dents/collapses the frame down-tubes - look and you will certainly find! This seriously weakens the strength of the tube and the frame. (Some people had new frames from Sherco, but I guess it still happened again). 2. The tank plumbing is overly complicated. The 2 feet of plastic tubing WILL perish/crack/become porous, resulting in all kinds of weird and wonderful issues, until it is completely replaced with new plastic tubing - perhaps every couple of years. Cheap enough if DIY. Other than this they are good bikes! Edited May 16, 20233 yr by stpauls
