nelly1 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 great bike easy to ride look out for worn suspension bearings and noisy mains and as long as you look after it you wont lose any money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineaway Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Make sure you ride it. Get it hot, make the fan work. No matter the brand you want the cooling system to work before purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggy Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks will do , my plans my have just changed going to look at an 2007 sherco later Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsever no 1 uk Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Speaking from experience you can find a nice gasser for around 900 pounds ,might take a bit of time but one should turn up that fits the bill ! Stay safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Buy the best condition bike you can,an 07 sherco will ride better than the Mont but may not be the better buy if its had a hard life,Abused and poorly maintained bikes can take a lot to put right,generally more than getting the right bike to start with.Take a mechanically minded mate with when you view it.easy to miss problems with your own eyes.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggy Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 The sherco isnt happening now seller keeping it .I am an engineer so should be able to spot a dog .I just wish i could find something worth buying now . mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
