- I take the Sherco 500 out for the Ultra Light ADV test to see how it stacks up! Like the Beta 390 I like to do a trial run to see how comfortable the seat is, the road manners, fuel range, the engine characteristics and how the suspension is set up. As expected it passes with flying colours and so far I am really happy with my purchase. Next the single trail test.......
Needs a screen.
Somewhere to put your Waffles sticker. 😇
Interested to see how far you go build wise with this one.
how does it go sitting on 100km down the road
Yeah that is an important question. Most enduro bikes if geared right will sit on a 100kms reasonably ok. The Sherco is the same but with the 480 displacement it does it pretty easy. A little vibration of course and U cop a lot of wind. However with any enduro bike if you pass trucks going the opposite way U have to be careful not to get blown off the road. These are light bikes so trucks and side winds can be a bit of a hazard. Depends how far your going a bit of highway between dirt roads is fine.
Thanks for watching

Like your vids,What sort of mileage were you . getting with the beta. Just bought one and seems a bit thirsty.
Hi Clive yeah just under the 5 litres per 100 KMs for the Beta 390. My friend said his KTM 500 does a bit over 5 as well. Going to go do a more of a cruiser ride and check the Sherco
Thanks for watching

Great bike, but with 20 hr oil and filter service intervals it could hardly be called an adventure bike
How are you enjoying the Sherco? Any update on the fuel range per 100km / tank on the sherco?. I understand both the Beta and sherco are quite thirsty compared to the KTM / Husky 500 due to running lean from the factory. Do you recall what you got from the Beta 390 / 480?
No update as yet. I am riding it in some single trail over the next couple of days and I'll have some more info from that. Will wrap it up into a vid comparing the bikes at some stage
Regards Steve
what is the subframe like on these 500's? i don't carry much but how do they hold up over time?
Yeah that is a good question. I cannot remember the 2t Sherco's we've owned had aluminium or composite. Won't be too strong I would think. I'll get back to you....
