I cant quite tell if your joking? The tank, unlike the airbox is a sealed unit with no need for big openings to let air/water/mud in. I like the bike, may be tempted with one... wonder what colour those wheels will be? DID rims maybe? There must be something special for them to be blanked out. The airbox-carb-engine setup's gonna be odd aswell, as the flow will be vertical, not horizontal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shercoman2k8 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 You sure did... the rest of my post still stands though! Anybody got an idea on date of unveiling? Quite interested, two bikes to sell atm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshercorider Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 I talked to the rathmells today, they said they hope they will cost the same as the current bikes but a definate price will be given in september and they should be unveiled at the tdn in september. I was also told the first few will be here by end of november/early december. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshercorider Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 No i doubt it, been told this by a few people now. I have put my name down for one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 For Sherco to make such changes without proper development would be unthinkable. I still think the whole Greeves thing was just a front for development! How else does Greeves majically appear up with Sherco motors. How many they sold at that price? Anyone seen one? Boggles the mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motodaz Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Why does it look identicle on the outside then? Well it is a two stroke, and aside from Beta's they're all the same basic layout, and in a minimalist design such as in trials it's going to be hard to have something look noticeably different, However I'm certain it's Greeves own design, things like bolt positions (i.e. on the cylinder heads Greeves have theirs on the outer-edge whereas Sherco have them between the waterways), materials used (Metal instead of plastic on flywheel cover)and other things that take a keen eye to notice... (where's a smiley with dorky glasses when you need one?) Edited August 6, 2009 by motodaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
