exiled yorkshireman Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm thinking of changing my bike in the not too distant future and have narrowed it down to the 07 250 gasser or the 07 250 sherco. I wondered if any one had any advice. I'm 40 year old rider and not very good or likely to be any good so i just want something thats easy to ride but light and responsive any comments folks?

gizza5 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Think you will get a lot of replies from guys with both bikes saying which is better and slating the other. Try them both, all bikes are better than the rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucki3 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 It all depends on what YOU prefer, at the next trial blag a shot on both to see which you prefer, both has their ups and downs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiled yorkshireman Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've blagged a go on a gasser recently which was good but anyone tried an 07 sherco 250? I don't know anyone who'got one currently! keep it coming folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucki3 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Not actually seen one in the flesh but from what I can gather, reviews etc, they are a cracking bike, much better, smoother than previous years! Better rear shock aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 How much maintenance do you want to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) If you like blue buy the Sherco. If you like red buy the Gas Gas, or If you like orange buy the Beta. I was going to buy a blue bike to match my eyes but there wasn't one available so i bought a orange bike. I also own a red bike Edited April 4, 2007 by spud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've not ridden either of the 07 bikes you mention, but to help you decide; which one is cheapest and can you get a deal on either? The bikes are so similar that a financial saving might be all it needs to sway you one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterb Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Hi exiled Yorky, Also in exile from North Yorks but happily so in NZ! I have ridden the 07 Sherco 250 and was not too impressed power wise, very soft power delivery off the bottom end and I never could get on well with the steering, but then I ride a 300 Raga and like a bit of torque. The 250 Gasser would not dissapoint, great motor, easy to ride for all levels of rider. For me, I'd pick the GG. Again it boils down to your preference and riding style. Bye, PeterB.
