Yeah, my mate's got a 450 (06'?). He paid 6 grand for it and seems happy. Its got EFI and 'lectric start. A nice build too. Made in Spain.

Only had it out for a couple of rides so far, but no problems at the mo... It feels a bit like an 06' ktm exc to ride. A bit narrower though... Gonna take it out for another ride this saturday in karipoti (upper hutt)..

Mate of mine has one. Loves it. Does Enduros on it. No issues at all. Better than his KLX350 by far he says.

Pretty sure that the Sherco has a KTM engine in it so parts for that end shouldn't be a problem and probably won't be needed. Have a 400EXC with about 300 hours on it, so far no problems.

Pretty sure that the Sherco has a KTM engine in itI seriously doubt that! Even Husaberg who is now owned by KTM doesn't have a KTM engine, although there are a lot of cross over parts these days especially ancillaries.

Nothing wrong with Sherco that I've heard about. Long-standing Spanish brand, do more trials bikes, but every Spanish manufacturer does more trials bikes, 'cos that's what they're into over there.

The Beta's are here (italian). Saw a couple of guys with the 450's a few weeks back. I think a guy' on the Kapiti coast imports and supports them. Real nice machines! KTM engines..

Made in Spain??? Don't like the sound of that, sounds european, and weird.

get one the same colour as your mates, then slag anyone who buys different.:bash::bash:
