First look: Sherco 125 four-strokes – off-road styling on new dual-purpose range

Sherco announce new 125 four-stroke dual purpose motorcycle range for “city, suburban and countryside” riders available in enduro and supermoto versions.

The three-model line-up Sherco has announced for their 2023 125 SE Factory models might be less competition focused than we’re used to seeing from the French manufacture, but the styling cues are all very familiar.

Aiming, from what we can see, to be a basic, good looking, entry level off-road style bike range, the RS (enduro version), plus SM BlackMoon RS and SM Factory RS (Supermoto versions) are the three models which feature a reliable and mechanically simple, four valve single cylinder engine on traditional steel back bone chassis. Disc brakes, electric start and styling cues from the enduro competition machines are all boxes ticked here.

“These motorcycles are part of new range intended to meet the needs of city, suburban and customers who live in the countryside who desire to ride on two wheels to facilitate their daily travels.” Sherco say.
