The Sherco 300 SE is a very impressive machine . It has a winning engine , top shelf suspension and braking and is ergonomically very slick . KYB provides excellent suspension components and these are set up for the quick rider ... plush , but firm and progressive . The ergonomics are excellent with a flat smooth design that is roomy without being bulky . The handling feels light and the steering very quick . Two-stroke enthusiasts will appreciate the relative simplicity of the carburetted two-stroke motor , and while the power could be a bit overwhelming for trail riding , switchable engine mapping and strong low-end torque mean it doesn ’ t have to be revved . It ’ s a credible option for any two-stroke enthusiast , the chassis only needs individualising and then it ’ s time to go racing .
