Sherco 2016 300 SEF-R
Overwhelmingly approved during trade press tests, the 300 is often deemed the ideal compromise for those that want to ride a 4-stroke motorcycle.
Often imitated but never equaled, the 300 is the pioneer in mid-range cubic capacity 4-stroke enduro maotorcycle: a must have! An effect yet playful chassis, a powerful, torquey and lively motor, it is the ideal tool for leisurely rides or chasing the chronometer.
It is no wonder it is the motorcycle chosen by Jeremy Tarroux!
