    I can't like Knight ever since he pulled his dangerous 'lil temper tantrum when Taddy beat him for the first time. I mean, even though he pulled Tarah Geiger, he's a dbag IMO. 'Lil Croybaby!

    Yeah somewhat agree although that level of sport must be super frustrating at times.

    Old Style Husaberg,
    The man Knight is a competitive machine, few can run with this guy. Only a few Fins and an Italian or two can match him, Gncc for Knight was a piece of cake so hey let's give him some respect on his new venture with Sherco. BooRah!

    no its a Sherco engine built by Sherco (to me it looks a little Yamaha like) and the whole package is very very good from the get go, I rode Enduro 360s test bike its a nice evolution of the TXC310R package into a new production machine. Lots in common with my TXC310R but has a different bike feel.
    But as for now with all the machines they are so similar in feel, dimensions and weight and are so well evolved in all the same departments. All high quality EU and Japanese components like all the brands now. OEM suspension too soft for my tank like weight all she would need is proper springs , it a brilliant bike, FI is better than my TXC down low, zero brake stalls or coughs.

    Hello Guys :)

    Sherco is a construction built by Sherco. All engine is made by Sherco in very modern factory. All the constructions is developed by Sherco. Yamaha NOT. It dont even have the camchain on the same side as Yamahaengines. GAS GAS is the problem! They use Yamaha engines. ;) The new twostroke is a complete new construction. With great performance.

    OK clarification guys I know its not Yamaha, I hate writng these things because of literal misunderstanding. The style molding and casting/molding looks Yamma-ish -that is to say Yama quality and in the look of Yamaha . kinda like how triumphs look a little kaw-ish in their engine molds and overall package (and yes I know Triumph uses the same machinery dies and molding process as Kaw. from what Ive read in the past).

    Agree, I know it is a Sherco engine but does have a similar appearance to the Yamaha motor. The Sherco 250 2T or Rumored 175 2T is at the top of my list with Beta for what might end up in my garage some day.

    Merry Christmas to guys. :) The internal and outside is a complete different engine compared to Yamaha.. Check out lubricantsystem, camchanitrain, Oilfilter (not even on the same side) . BMW 450 and TE 449 use same oilfilter . Sherco started using that filter 2005. Enough about that now.

    I sell also Beta and TM Racing. And there is rumers abaut them also. Some customers still asking if they also use Yamaha engines. :applause: Both 4 and 2 stroke.:busted: TM is a over 35 year old company that have built there own engines.

    Here is a nice and fast movie of a Swedish Sherco SEF 300 rider, late winter with studtyres, tracklength 10 km. And a another one With Anders Eriksson Sherco twostroke. Enjoy.
