benbeta23 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 i've heard that the sherco 4t's have just the same amount of power than the 4rt's but the 4rt's are a lot more popular, the only time i've ever seen one was at hawkstone park 2007 and they seemed quite good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne thais Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am like Cope, I thought this was A Sherco post, it seems like everyone is telling him to get a Montesa. I will be getting my 3.2 on April 27th, I will let you know how I like it after that. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlracer Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ok Wayne, I want tell you about the bike you could ride here at the end of the month but instead i'll let you have a go on the 08 2.9 sitting in the garage, before you get your 3.2. I'll line up some guys for you to ride with and I can go watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a test about the four stroke bikes: (The black line is the Sherco, and the red is the Montesa. The Sherco has 20 hp, but the Montesa has only 17 hp.) (Down, you can see the torque, Montesa 20.5 Nm, Sherco 26 Nm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Having owned both a 4rt and a 3.2 4t that dyno chart shows exactly how the bikes feel when you ride them. Edited March 19, 2008 by sirhc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hey fkrisztian, Where did this information come from? Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I must agree that these charts seem to go along quite well and agree with the "pants". Not sure the origin, but we need more of this type of info published, 2T as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkrisztian Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hey fkrisztian,Where did this information come from? Best of balance. Neo It's scanned from a motocross (and trial) magazine. Here's the website: http://www.motocrossdigital.com. It appeared in 2007. dec. You can download the magazine in electronic format from here: http://www.motocrossdigital.eu/online/down....php?rivista=13 Unfortunately I've not found any information of the 2 stroke motorcycles. I would be interested, too, because I ride a 2 stroke Beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clav3 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 That chart comes from a seven page 4 stroke shootout. Great read. Great mag. Download previous issues, there are good reviews on new bikes. The mag is mainly MX but there is always a section on trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptradam Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've riden both an 05 Montesa and an 07 3.2. The 3.2 has more power, no contest. I thought the 3.2 felt more like a modern two stroke. You could ride with a little more clutch. The Montesa "felt" heavier to me. Not suer if it actually is or not. They both have excelent build quality. If I had a choice I'd go with the Sherco.

dixie Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Have they really cured the starting issues? I have owned one of the scorpa, sherco, and finally the monty 4 bangers The real issue with the sherco was hot start,the motor was fine,probably better than the monty from a fourstroke angle,but it would never start reliably. The monts allways start that is why they are more poppular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Dixie Posted Today, 07:38 AM Have they really cured the starting issues? Yes totally, starts as easy or easier than a 4rt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
