heathy Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 I've had my sherco 290 up to 60mph with standard gearing, while riding alongside my mates car. I would think it would go to around 90mph with a different gear setup, but I would want to be the one to try it out. Trials bikes don't feel very safe at high speed!

I would imagine that with your "sensitive" throttle your 290 would do about 160 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathy Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 125mph on a trials bike, I thought 60mph was scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I've had a few TYZs and they'll do 80mph and a bit on standard gearing. The Ossa MAR I had almost new back in the 70s would do 75mph absolutely flat. It would blow my 3 mates and their CB200 Hondas into the weeds in a drag race up to about 50 but then the long drop from 4th to 5th would kill the acceleration and they'd go past. It would keep up with my other mates CB400F to about 40mph too. It was great to go to school on after the Sherpa T I had was flat out at about 55mph. 320 Armstrong was pretty quick too although never actually clocked that to see what it would do. Worst bike I ever had on the road was my 98 315 which sounded as though it was going to detonate to pieces on the road around the SSDT. It was awful.

spud Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) with a tail wind on a down i just pipped 175mph in a muddy section on sunday - felt like it was 176mph thou Edited April 12, 2005 by spud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I reckon I got my sherco 125, standard everything up to about 30/40 ish between sections with plenty of revs still to go. Never clocked it and probably never will though! (Any faster than that the ramblers and dog walkers that you hit make a nasty mess on the front mudguard!) Pete.
