2020 Sherco 300 SEF Factory - First Impression Review - Max Motorsports Demo | Sherco 300 4 Stroke

In this video I ride a demo 2020 Sherco 300 SEF Factory from Max Motorsports and share my first impressions of the bike.
This is not a "paid" endorsement of Max Motorsports. I do get discounts on parts and gear in exchange for using Max logos in my videos. I took advantage of the opportunity to take the demo bike out primarily because I really wanted to ride it and make a couple of videos from the experience.

Sherco consolidated all of their bike production into one factory in France a couple of years ago.
Great model, I've had two of them and they are amazing.
It is a true all rounder

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Thanks for the info and thanks for watching!

[@PNWEnduro]

The more competition in the off road market the better and the new Sherco's look like great bikes.

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

PNW Enduro I agree and this one was a blast to ride for a day. Thanks for watching!

[@Captain250FX]

Great video, I've been interested in that bike for awhile.

[@jamesdeane3493]

Great review Donnie. Looks like you were sold on this bike. Great endorsement of the folks at Max Motorsports. They sound like the guys to go to!

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

James Deane Thanks for watching!

[@MrGreenone60]

I recently had a 2015 sef 250 factory model. Really a sweet bike . It turned very well in the tight stuff.

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

MrGreenone60 Thanks for watching!

[@jreeves884]

Great video! Would have love to see it go across a field section but overall I like your style of video. Definitely interested in this bike.

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Thanks for watching!

[@markgunnison]

Nice looking bike.

[@lastminuteracing8436]

Great review! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Sherco 300 2 stroke and how it compares with this bike

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Last Minute Racing Thanks! I’d love to get a chance to ride the 2 stroke and when I do I’ll share my thoughts.

[@ablejohnson]

I'd love to rode one. I have a 2021 300 se factory and love it. I'd love to compare the 300 sef to the se

[@yamahayz113]

Awesome review! We had a '16 250. Phenomenal motor, and all the needed add-ons straight from factory. Quick question, the '16 had a mapping switch on the bars, never could really tell a big difference between maps but was curious if the newer ones had it.

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Cody Phillips Yeah, it has a map switch just under the e-start button. It wasn’t labeled and I couldn’t really tell which mode was which.

[@nvmcrider8475]

This bike has been tempting me for a while as the modern 450's get a lot of wheel spin and feel bulky but the 250f feels just a little light on power. The Ktm 350xc is awesome but, stalls easily and overheats easy without a fan. How much better is this motor than the YZ250fx? Are there any other ares you feel it is better than the 250fx? Great video keep them coming.

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

NVMCRIDER Not sure if I’d say the motor is necessarily better than the YZ250FX, but different. It seems better at lugging and on the lower end of the rpm range. The sherco feels very light. Thanks for watching.

[@rhinogames9856]

Have u had a chance to ride the 250sef

[@Fontainebleauify]

How does the low mid and top end power compare to the 250fx ? Also are the stock kybs softer or stiffer than stock 250fx kyb?

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

The KYB fork on the Sherco is considerably softer than the stock KYB fork on the YZ250FX. I haven't looked at any dyno charts to compare but just based on riding the two bikes, the Sherco low end power is a little better being a 300, but the YZ250FX mid and top end power is equal in my opinion and the Yamaha revs faster.

[@devincloud84]

How does the SEF 300 compare powerwise to your YZ250FX? I ride GNCC/Medium trails at worse. No hard enduro or MX

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

The Sherco has a little more low end grunt but top end power is comparable. The yamaha revs quicker.

[@Tankerman]

Thats a sweet looking bike. I bet you were nervous riding a demo, I know I would be. Stay safe

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

I didn’t worry too much. I just treated it like it was my bike with the understanding I would pay for any repairs needed if I damaged something. Thanks for watching!

[@arthurkineard7356]

Love riding at the ridge. Would you choose this over a 300 2 stroke for the kind of riding you do?

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Arthur Kineard That’s a tough question. For most of the riding I do a 2 stroke is hard to beat! Can’t wait to ride a sherco 2 stroke. Thanks for watching.

[@jered2177]

Never heard of that brand,seems like a nice bike

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

They’re awesome bikes. With the new US distributer you will be seeing more of them around.

[@vegasromaniac]

but , in proivate , send me a message , yz250fx or sherco :D

[@DirtBikingwithDonnie]

Lol, ok. If I had to choose I'd take my 2018 KTM 250 XCW. 😁
