Sherco or Beta?

Sounds like Jason and his buddy ordered new Shercos as well.

Your are correct Scott, I put a deposit on a 2016 Sherco 300 SE-R (WP suspension). Wasn't too keen on the Sachs fork on the Beta.

For anyone that cares the Sachs fork is a copy of the open chamber wp.

I take it you are referring to the Beta sachs not GG sachs?

Yes the Beta Sachs.

After riding the 2017 GG EC300 and 2017 Sherco, I bought a 2017 Sherco 300 SE-R. The Sherco had better power and handling and a modern design.
Now that GG has had the 2018 models out for a while, I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to ride both and could comment on the differences between the two. How about a ready to ride weight on the GG? All this competition is good for the consumer, and I hope to see GG, Sherco and Beta keep selling bikes in the US.

Time for a new bike this summer. I will be keeping my 2011 EC250R as my rock bike.

So, I am strongly considering adding a four stroke, and on that list, by way of elimination is something like a left-over 2018 Sherco 300SEF-R, ideally in ?Factory? trim.

Any updates on your Shercos in 2017?
