New sherco a look pretty sweet I reckon! I'd have one but they bit porky(2ts) n no kicker still bothers me. Sexy lookin tho. I need to win lotto then I'd jus buy one of every bike!
My personal findings on the weight of the 2T. I did not like the front tire and swapped it for a Pirelli. The Pirelli was 2 lbs. lighter. The bike is equipped with a lead battery which weighs 4lbs. Most LI batteries are not much more than a pound. So there is significant weight savings with little to no effort.
I switched from a Gasser EC300 to a Sherco, the weight difference is huge. I just could not ride the Gasser fast or for long in the woods without becoming tired. I can ride the Sherco all day without getting tired.
What r the actual weights Ken do u know? Have u weighed them? I'd have thought they'd be pretty similar
No, never weighed either. I can tell you getting the Sherco in the back of the truck is a lot easier!
My 2016 Sherco 300 SER weighs 247lbs with EE skid plate, rad braces, hand guards, Mousse inserts and about 1/3 tank of gas. The Sherco is a well built and very reliable bike. The Sherco 2 stroke is probably 5-6lbs heavier than it needs to be but not 20lbs overweight like a GG.
The weight doesn't matter too much depending on how the bike carries it, i mean if it's all up top then your going to notice it far more in corners and lifting thing up. But low down shouldn't be too bad.
