Xtrem Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Been riding dirtbikes for more than 20 years, considering a used trial bike to improve the technical aspect. 2013 Sherco 3.0 with 40 hours 2015 Beta EVO 300 with around 30 hours Both in excellent condition, same price actually. Which would you choose? In a perfect world I’d pick a 250 but none available where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monteeman Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 id pick the beta personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherpa325 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I would personally go with the bike that has the best parts supply and service. This can vary from country to country as some of the importers are small in terms of the range and volume of parts they keep in stock. I changed from two different manufacturers simply because of lack of customer service in terms of product knowledge and parts kept in stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrem Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I did some research and I’m aware of the Formula brake issues on the Sherco. I’m leaning towards the Beta we’ll see. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melba26 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hi Xtrem, Beta for me, power should be softer if your thinking of a 250 then I believe the Sherco may be a bit savage. Also I believe the 2013 Sherco was early version when they put the fuel tank under the seat which may be difficult to get carburation right on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if you can tame these beasts with different throttle cams/lower compression heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrem Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 By the way, any known issues with the clutch on the Sherco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Yep, 2013 has inverted fuel tank and non repackable silencer. They run crap when new, nevermind 10 years old. Im sure it sounds horrendous now with that exhaust. Possibly the worst bike made in the last 20 years Edited February 15, 2023 by faussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
