perce Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 So what 2007 new bike has everyone been buying for next year? I'm not taking second handers just the new ones, what are we going to see the most of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 No new bike for me this year but I'm seeing an awful lot of new Shercos round here, especially in the youth classes. Fair few '07 Betas too but this has always been "Beta country" for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essex rider Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think thre are going to be a fair few shercos next year, dont know why?

nigel dabster Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well there is only about two new 07's in our centre and I have heard that the montesas and betas are impossible to get at the moment is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandellear Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 quite a few people I have asked don't like the '07 gasser. (looks wise). I have to say that I don't like it much either,I think the black frame looks cheap and nasty whereas on the sherco I think it really suits them and looks great! when looking at the Gas Gas I think it generally looks abit "tacky." But I haven't riden any '07s so can't comment on how they ride! Maybe see if I blag a go this weekend on a gasser! So back to the point. I don't think the gasser will be the most popular!

cota kid Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 The East Yorks Centre was in the past not a happy hunting ground for Montesa but now the place is swarming with them. At the Bilsdale trophy trial I think there was 28 gassers and 25 4RT's. A year ago there would have been less than double figure monts.

north_yorkshire_lad Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 to be honest i think that the black frame on the gasser looks the better job compared to sherco, the way a bike rides should be the main priority not looks....................... take mine for example it's ******* YELLOW!!!!!!!

sherco 125 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 its all gassers and shercos down here but i own a sherco and quite a few gas gas owners are switching to sherco, the only betas i usually see are 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 its all gassers and shercos down here but i own a sherco and quite a few gas gas owners are switching to sherco, the only betas i usually see are 80's Pretty good mixture around here, including plenty of 4rt's. In fact Mark Hicken has swapped his '06 Raga replica for a standard 4rt! And he's no slouch. A couple of years back you hardly ever saw a Scorpa but now there are quite a few of them. Perhaps it's beacuse the Scorpas were always more expensive in the past. Note, we never see a rock so it's always muddy streams and tree roots which seem to suit the Yamaha engine.

seandellear Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 My gasser is yellow to!lol I don't mind it just looks a bit girlie? Yes I agree that it is how a bike rides but I just think it makes it a little tacky! Hope to blag a go on one this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive C (picture) has a '07 Scorpa but another rider I know well is still waiting for his, it's been on order for about a month now.
