Woodys Report

[exiled yorkshireman]

I read woodys report about the new 250 sherco last week and was suprised at how impressed he was. I've read articles of his before and he's not usually that revved up. Seems like the sherco has gone from the runt of the litter to one to consider...has anyone else tried the07 250 sherco and would they agree with the report as it ends with "its simply one of the best trial bikes ever" which is quite an endorsement

.....dont remember last year's report saying quite how bad it was though?

Well he says when malcolm rathwell has asked them over previous years they were almost embarrassed to say...his words not mine bud

so..is that good this year?

You often see this strange phenomenon where this years model is faultless right up until next years model appears, then all of a sudden the old model was a piece of junk.

Funny that.

Last years report said something about not buying the 250 but have the 290 as it was the better bike (I remember because I took the proverbial out of Midlands Sherco diehard Pete Archer who had just bought a 250). It did not say the 250 was a pile of cr-p but it did say the 290 was easyier to ride and performed better at everything. Looks like the 250 is now somewhat improved!

Poor Pete, I remember him buying a new Sherco in 2001, the same week foot and mouth stopped all trials for the rest of the year.

On the other hand, I see Pete has an entry for the Scottish again this year, so not all his luck is bad.

Sherco's have always sold shed loads of 290's so call me an old sceptic but it wouldn't be a ploy to sell more 250's would it?

Nice riding kit woody had on too..........
