t-shock 250 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this a 1998 model TX with some badly applied "2002" stickers being passed off as a 2002 model? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...:PIC&ih=002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 TXXT's did overlap the pro's in 2002 and 2003 but I would have thought that they were 250 or 280 rather than 270's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are right about the overlapping. The only "legal" explanation could be that this IS a 2002 TXT 250/280 Edition equipped with a 98 tank. Hard to say if the saddle is one piece or two. If it is two then it is possible that this is a 2002... -Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boorad Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 own a 98 tx125 looks just the same apart from colour ... and dodgy 2002 graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickstart101 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 That is actualy pretty shocking, so clearly a 98 model with some really dodgy 2002 stickers on the front mudguard and frame. Im pretty sure that guy knows what he's doing, just hope some poor sod doesn't buy it thinking that there getting an 02 bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forks are the pre-2001 three-piece lower leg, for instance. Hey, maybe it has 2002 premix fuel in the tank..... Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 This bike looks like a 1998 270 with 2002 odd ball stickers added. Maybe the seller has no idea what it is, only going by the stickers. Maybe he really does know. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I thought that was Jon's '02 Pro for a minute! HIGHLY MODIFIED- in the wrong direction!!!!!!!!!!!! He likes old stuff, you know! Now where can I find a chrome frame for this Sherco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 its not an 02. i have an 02 Pro and unless the frame styles where that different from the Pro and TXTs its not an 02. liiks like a 1999 or 2000 to me. i dont think the 270 was made in 02 either.

zippy Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 copemech Posted Yesterday, 10:50 PMNow where can I find a chrome frame for this Sherco? huh.gif I'll sell ya my Chrome 2000 Sherco frame!!! And with it being a "Vintage" frame that means it is worth more. Also with all the extra "restoration" welds it must be so much stronger. I will part with it for the low low price of a new 2008 or 2009 Sherco!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Its not an 02. Judging from the full face helmet and goggles that are prime for trials I would assume that the person who owns this thing does not know much about it. 97 98 or 99. but ask for the vin and you will be for sure. 277 278 or 279 should be either in the vin or on a part on the bike. 27=270 and 7 8 or 9 is the year. --Biff PS some one missing one of these in Sheffield????
