    does anyone here ride a Serco :confused:
    if you do your thoughts please
    a local shop is looking at becoming a dealer, the bikes look good and the engineering seems sound but in a small brand problems can be an issue you would not normally hear about

    I assume you are talking about a Sherco?

    I rode the 300 2 and 4 stroke... really liked it but only draw back is a small brand and support could be iffy at times....

    Here in UK they are a rival to gas gas in the trials world. That is sherco.
    Serco sounds like a Chinese rip off.
    Sherco are a very good reliable, reputable brand and I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of the price if right as brucy used to say.

    you mean like finding parts for my 93 360, that has never really bothered me as I always prepare ahead of time when possible
    but I do understand your point that support for parts and upgrades could be slim

    Yes, I bought a Sherco 250 SE-R about a year ago. I posted a review in this forum. Went riding yesterday. I am loving the bike. No problems to report. Parts are readily available. The electric start makes life on the trails sooooo much easier!

    I also have a 250 SE-R, got it dialed in and is the best bike I have ridden. Easy to work on and parts readily available!

    Go get one.

    You guys may not have a problem but both of my buddies had "used" parts sent to them by Clay while waiting on new stuff.... also 17' shroud is 2 piece like Italian huskys...

    So they didn't want the used parts to get them by until the new parts arrived?

    are you saying this as a negative or a positive??
    if the dealer loans spares as stated above, that would be a nice gesture

    That will be interesting as there are no Cali dealers that I know of. Might need to skip over and take a look once he gets established.

    Supposedly they are meticulously designed and built, with the rider in mind. However I think I would lean towards a GasGas, despite their financial problems, because the GasGas motor is supposed to be a thing of beauty, and they apparently handle great.

    If the enduro is anything like the trials bike then yes gg are quality, although i will never understand why they decided main bearings should be lubed by the gear box.

    From what I have heard and scene the Gas Gas enduro bikes are pretty heavy and outdated. They also have the crappy side mount starter like KTM. The state of the art starter is what steered me to Sherco and Beta and I really think the Sherco has a slicker more trouble free package.
