the only difference with the repsol and the normal is: .orange wheels .carbon fibre items .graphics and the new sherco is good but at the weekend when i was riding my dad's mate had a go on a 06 sherco 4 stroke (which had no problems) and hye had a 05 repsol replica 4rt and doing the hillclimbs on it and it really struggled and the 4rt pissed them all and i saw the beta 4 stroke at hawkstone park and it was john lampkin who was riding and the 08 sherco still had a lot of problems took ages to get it right but all bikes have problems but the 08 sherco 4 stroke is no where near as good as the mighty montesa
