You guys across the pond might have missed this, but Sherco is bringing out a new 85cc bike.
Us Europeans who visited the Eicma show already seen it in person at EICMA.
And before everyone starts saying it looks like a KTM, trust me, it really doesn't when you see it in real life.
Electric start, carburetor and a few interesting features.
Personally, I think we should just be happy to see more manufacturers getting involved in motocross, especially in the youth classes. After all, that's where the future of our sport starts!
This is great news, and a serious contender with electric start. It will definitely be a hit in the ladies classes. (no its not a dig)
Electric start 85?
Why on earth would they do that?
Does TM have an 85?
It would be an advantage just like it is for adults.
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Yes, they have, for about 43 years or so if you count the old 80cc models.
It's a work of art, but expensive spare parts and the lack of aftermarket options have always been its biggest drawbacks.
Funny you mention it because as soon as I saw this hit the internet I thought of my daughter. Almost 12, but only 59LB and 4’4” tall. She loves moto, she rides and races very well. Shes riding 65’s when most of her peers are on super minis or 125’s. We’ve sat her on some 85’s and she can manage if she had to, but unless someone is holding the bike for her, or she is able to stand the bike up in a perfect position against a hill, she cannot kick start the bike. This bike would relieve so much stress for her, and me (if she stalls or falls where I can’t see her or get to her quickly). I already called the SHERCO dealer in north Texas and put my name on the first one. He said it’s likely to come out late next year as a 2028 model. Which should be perfect for us, as my daughter will be “AMA 11” all year. My plan was to get her on an 85 for next Christmas.
SHERCO Romania Instagram page has the specs listed. Basically the same weight of the KTM’s
That is a trick looking mini!

How much these cost comparing to KTM/Gasgas/Yamaha? 69kg sounds like same as others but doenst say it its empty weight like KTM or race ready like Yamaha weight?
Ty Masterpool won the Supermini class at Lorettas in 2017 on it.
OXG makes a legit estart kit for all flavors of 85.
