    LOM nailed it. Confidence in the e-start, Map switch gives two bikes in one and it's not a KTM.

    A few other reasons why I choose French, all subjective of course:
    The Sherco feels narrow between the boots and the fc350 husky (only one i've ridden) felt wide. I don't like wide.
    WP open chamber forks work well with stock valving when sprung correctly. Have you seen the 4CS threads???
    Ergo's, dimensions, feel similar to an Italian Husky xlite 310.
    Not as expensive as a white Husky (in Australia)

    Even if I'm not going to buy one this year I'm happy to see more 2 stroke choices being built. If all I get to choose from is what color KTM I'm going to buy I will have to make my WR250 last until it's in the vintage section on the Cafe.

    Does anyone know what their plans are for their FI 2 stroke? Are they gonna offer it as a separate model? Will they offer a FI and a carb model? Or is the FI not ready for showtime yet?

    My statement was that the Sherco 300 four stroke I rode was a further refinement of my 2 previous Italian Husky 310s TE and TXC-R, it just did everything better/smoother/more refined. these bikes are engineered very well as core enduro machines.

    Word is possibly a 2017 model. The US importer said he would request carbs for whatever the first year is to see how it works out and also based on requests he's already gotten from people here. I'm sure he would still order a few with FI or special order. From what I've ready ktm will have them out by then also because european emission standards change that year.

    Also, the current 2 strokes are supposedly designed around fi and the system can be retrofitted when it comes out. You can look up synerject and see it or atleast a variation of it. Its the same company beta and sherco use on their fuel injected 4 strokes

    Its not necessarily better but can be depending on your likes. I think KTMs are awesome bikes, no doubt about that. But I prefer the handling and suspension on some other bikes which is why I dont go with KTM. I also dont like to be one of the herd and like different stuff. The Sherco would be one of my top choices if I was in the market because I hear it handles like an x-light husky which is one of my favorites, has a sweet motor like a good running GG, has very good stock suspension, has a real integrated e-start (not an add on item that is finicky), is slim and looks stunning. I've never liked PDS much although I have ridden a few that worked good. I've never liked the hinged in the middle lose / twitchy feeling on KTMs handling. Suspension and handling are my two big ones and KTM, for me personally, does not hit my target. This is why I look at other brands.

    That pretty much sums up my thoughts except add that I prefer a taller bike since I'm 6'6". The Beta and the older GasGas are more for a shorter guy. This puts Sherco at the top of my list. Id like to see them come out with a 150-175cc bike that is lighter but I realize they would not sell many of those compared to 300s.

    Krm or husky not a choice?!? Anything post 2014 maybe but there are heaps of used sweedish huskys to buy and plenty of mashed ktm's. Me personally knowing a few mates that have katie ems means i wont be buying one soon unless the price is very right.
    Husky below a k thats £1000 or $1520 at time of exchange its in my sights.
    The choice is there just what are you after? Ossa sherco beta ktm oset yamaha kawakaski buel bultaco honda sherco gas gas husky aprillia and more.. Not no choice imo too much. We are spoilt and i love it!
    Oh ajp n suzuki i missed and plenty more

    Most KTM haters talk about how WP suspension is junk, and the Sherco has WP suspension... My 2003 CR250 had an electric powervalve...

    I would enjoy a Sherco, I'm just sayen.

    I like those Shercos, not the colours but the bike. Specially the 2t's. Maybe my next bike is one of those 300 2t.

    What fears me is the e-start-only ... I would like to have a kickstarter as backup.

    FI ? I don't care, the Lectron works great :D

    Its a real integrated E-start like a 4 stroke, not a crappy add on like a lot of 2 strokes and works great, just like the Beta. 2 strokes are super easy to push start if there is an issue. It would not scare me at all but I get it that some people dont like it.
