Pre Loved Motorcycles

In 1998, Marc Teissier made his long-awaited dream come true: to create his own make of trials bike. He surrounded himself with a team of people who had in-depth experience in the field. Above all they started from scratch, with no commitments other than those he personally brought with him. The goal was to offer a product that would come as close to the fans' wishes as possible and achieve the highest level of quality.
Entering such a competitive and demanding market, with its technological advances and sporting demands which move more quickly than the bikes themselves, was a true challenge. Today, three years on, we can state we have achieved Marc's goal with flying colors.
In just over three years of production, Sherco has positioned itself as a leading contender in terms of the field's technology, and is fighting for the sales lead with companies with a much longer history in the market. The positive response from our clients and their satisfaction is not merely a reward; it is, above all, our goal. The key to success is simple: a group of professionals dedicated exclusively to trials bikes. Their passion has become a model for all those who make up Sherco's team. Behind each and every one of them is a true trials fan, and from this starting point, the challenges have been easily reached.
The year 2001 marked an important milestone in Sherco's history, during this year we celebrated unit number 6,000 leaving the production line at Caldes de MontbuÌ (Spain). During this same period of time we have seen the expansion of our activities into the world of enduro, having acquired the know-how from French firm HRD and created a new factory in Nimes (France) which is dedicated exclusively to this segment of the market.

1999
Sherco deliver his first produced unit on November 1.998, the bike was the Sherco 2.5 with propietray 249 cc engine, deltabox frame and entered the market being the lightest bike aivalable at this time. This model has a great success and the factory produced 1.000 units on his firts year. To remark, the victory of Graham Jarvis on the Scottish Six Days on spring 1.999 and the factory made a limited edition of 150 units of the same bike used by Jarvis.

2000
The Sherco 2.5 for the year 2000 is, as a whole was superior to its predecessor, as several improvements were made to the model with even stricter quality control, leading to an excellent product with the best performance qualities in the market.

2001
The model 2001 included some revolutionary new concepts, like the new exhaust pipe, lower center of gravity and a dry weight of only 69 kg. This demonstrates that Sherco is the leader in the development of future trials machines.

2002
The Sherco .02 Series adds all the experience and improvements of a victorious year in the hands of Graham Jarvis and Marc Freixa. Sherco acquired its first world round victories with this machine. Motorcycle magazine reviews give it a thumbs up for the maturity and overall balance of this model.

2003
The new 2003 Sherco model improvements are a direct result of our extensive involvement in world competition. There are major improvements in the 1.25, 2.0, 2.5 and 2.9 models. We are also releasing the new 0.8 model which, along with the well-known 0.5 will complete our model offerings and provide a model for every rider who participates in this sport.
Sherco expanded its market with the launch of two top of the line model lightweight motorcycles that are specifically designed for the Enduro and Supermotard market. These models must be placed at the very top of the list in the hard-fought lightweight motorcycle market.
