Just a general comment. We have the "Husqvarna Bikes (Bikes & Accessories)" forums for the Husqvarna bikes.... and other forums like racing, news, diner as well. This "Main" forum is for the stuff that does not fit the other forums. And the Main forum is the perfect place to talk about Sherco bikes "Main" should be called something else at this point cause it is more like a catch all/misc forum. Might rename it in the future after a few other things happen.
Yep, that's the '09 250 that Frank had... might even still have. Engine is suppose to be brilliant. I'll have to get around to taking a trip up to Bellevue and see it in person.
Thanks for the info, links, advice, and kind words. I know it takes time to respond and i appreciate it. Im not going to sell all my Huskys, so ya cant get rid of me yet. But yeah, that 5.1 looks like what i want/need, plus it has white fenders.... Just wish it had a plate. Thats a stumbling block for me, but not a deal breaker. Ill post up some pics down the road. Probably wait to see what Husky/BMW '10 look like, then pull the trigger one way or another, probably race a Sherco in '10. Dualsport on my Husky.
man, you guys are killin me LOL!! Ryan Young's shop is only 4hrs drive from my place.... must resist....I must....
Hey Mike, I know you'll probably be picking up a '09/'10 Sherco... but here are a few current photos of my '08 "work in progress". I've not done all that much to it... upgraded the lighting to HID/LED, fitted Motoz rubber, added my favorite bar bend, handguards and grips, stuck on the 60CSx in a Touratech mount... and of course, rebuilt the seat. The motor is stock, and other than some adjustments to make it more "lively" for the rocky terrain in my part of the world, the suspension is as well. I've even left the stock 14/48 final drive gearing as is because I haven't run into a situation where a bit lower gearing was absolutely neccessary. Cheers, C
What type of range can you get on the stock tank in single track/fire road conditions? Can you get 80 miles? Do the new bikes still have the coolant recovery bottle up by the radiator? I looked at one of these in 200 and liked the low seat height, quiet exhaust and massive radiators with the coolant bottle for what I assume would be rare boil overs. Lastly, is the seat height still a bit lower than average? All the bikes nowadays are too damn tall. NC.
Last offroad, long distance excursion I got 78 miles on a 2.3 gallon tank. I carry a couple of 1L aluminum camp stove bottles for long rides... or a friend with a big tanked KTM. Yes they do... you can see it in the photo. There is a horizontal line across the tank to indicate coolant level. I have a 31 inch "riding inseam"... I have no issues with footing. The newest bikes are suppose to have an even lower seat height... by what amount I don't know. The stock seat has sufficient foam thickness that it can be lowered as much as 1 inch. C
It had better be... I hardly ever get a chance to ride it these days. The business is booked out to mid October!
