The FIM presents the new rules for 2004: a new era for trials is coming. 
   
 
 

This last week the FIM in a press release revealed their plans that will for sure create the biggest change in trials since the introduction of the two stroke powered machines by Sammy Miller in the sixties.

The new pollution standards scheduled for 2004 by the EEC makes it almost impossible for a two stroke engine to pass. The ban that California is going to place on two stroke engines will probably be enlarged to include all of the US in 2006. Because trials bikes must be street legal in Europe they must meet these new standards. The manufactures are working diligently to develop new four stroke models that will meet these tough new pollution standards.

As soon as the information is available, Sherco will provide you with all of the details about the new models that will be powered by four stroke engines.

 
   
 

Here is a brief preview of the proposed new changes for 2004-2005:

 
   
 

2004

 Class 125 cc four stroke: for riders between 16 and 18 year old. All riders must have a driver’s license for this class.
  Class for more than 125 cc: four stroke engine with a minimum weight of 70 kg. (154 lbs.)
  Open Class: for riders over 18 years old with a driver’s license. The bikes may be equipped with either a two stroke or a four stroke engine with a capacity greater than 250 cc and a minimum weight of 75. Kg. (165 lbs.)
   
2005 Open Class: the only engine type allowed will be the four stroke engine.
 
   
 There could still be some changes to these new rules prior to their approval this autumn.

 Sherco USA present at the Indy Dealer Show 
   
  

Ryan Young Products, official importer of Sherco Motorcycles in the USA was present for the third time at the Indianapolis Dealer Show. This is the biggest motorcycle dealer show in the USA.

Each year the RYP display has gotten larger, this year it was twice as large as the year before. Look for even bigger things in 2003.

 
 
   
 

The display this year featured The SHERCO motorcycles; one of each model was on display from the 2.9 all the way down to the 50cc bike was there for prospective dealers to view. The display was fully manned with 20 knowledgeable reps on hand to answer every question; a power point presentation that featured Ryan Young going over the highlights of the 2002 bikes was being shown as well as video coverage of many of the world’s events.

RYP is expanding in to the ATV market with boots, ramps, lubes and many other items. The display also showcased many of the trials related products available through RYP.

Next year the display will be larger again and be located in the same area as other leading motorcycle suppliers.
