#dirtbike #offroad #motorcycle #sports #new
Dirt Bike Magazine tests the all new 2024 Sherco 500cc Dual Sport. This was a bit of a surprise to see on our visit to Texas for the Sherco Dealer meeting. We were able to get some time on the all new bike and also had hard enduro expert Cody Webb show off his talents for the video. Ron Lawson breaks down all the details on this bike and gives you a first ride impression in this video.

It’s great to see a small company come out and take on the competition.

A good friend of mine has a 2000 sherco 450 that is street legal still runs to this day have 15, 000 miles very reliable

I ride a 22 450 Sherco and the bike is amazing. It is a little heftier than the competition but I only feel that in the tightest woods and in the “oh crap!” Moments. It doesn’t flame out easily and makes very good power of the bottom and rolls off at the top. It’s super stable and smashes through 2 track like no body’s business. I’m excited for the 500 and hope they sell out of them. With the KYB suspension it’s an incredible platform that is ready to rip! ❤❤

I'd love to see you guys do a side by side review of the Sherco 500 SEF and the Beta 500 RS. The only major difference I can see is the Sherco has a slightly taller stroke so it may have a lil more low end grunt. But it would be a cool comparison.

[MachJohnny]

Sherco’s are basically the closest thing that we’ll ever get to a Modern Day Bultaco!… I would love to see Sherco come out with a commemorative Bultaco Edition with a classic Bultaco livery.

This or a beta will be my next dual sport if I had the money

[ericcournoyer]

Sounds like a unicorn bike. However being a dual sport it would have been nice to have highway review. Or at least a twisty road test ride. I am sure it will come.

[thevinceperspective]

is this just the normal SEF 500 that is road legal now? Or have they actually made physical changes to make it a legit duelsport? Such as more oil capacity for longer service intervals? Cush drive rear hub? Softer seat?

[IdahoDualSport]

Is there a keyed ignition on this bike? Tach/dash setup? Curious what dual sport features set it apart from the SEF.

[tieoneon]

How long until KTM tries buying them out too?

[leep]

I wonder if they will make a 300sef dual sport?

[timothydrake]

What's the gas tank size? What does it have for gages, like fuel level? Any support for rear luggage? Has Cody Web ever tent camped off a bike? This demo ride tells us nothing.

[tieoneon]

This is great to hear. But I still love my 20 year old DRZ.

[mikeisland]

Great that they made a street legal dirt bike but to call something a dual sport it should come with a 16 L tank a wide seat at the back for highway stints. Stings to buy a new bike and then replace the tank and seat to make it functional. Glad to see another player in this category though.

[Dan.S.]

Wont come like that to europe i gues...

[PennsylvaniaDualSport]

When does the reflash show up ? I’d rather control things with a selectable map and/or a throttle tamer.

I’m mainly interested due to the street registration. Lots of enduros around here are open course and use public road to transfer to another test.

This state has been revoking previously registered KTM, Beta and Husky cause they realized the vin stood for off highway even though they came new with a motorcycle title

[ekentrikos]

hello. engine is the same as yamaha wr 450?

[MarquisSalinas]

I wonder if they will make a 300sef dual sport?. I wonder if they will make a 300sef dual sport?.

[BadKarma]

Please tell me, what is the dry weight of this sherco 500? Does it feel much heavier than 350?
