2007 · Super motard
The 2007 Sherco 4.5i 4T Supermotard emerged as a focused contender in the burgeoning supermoto scene of the mid-2000s. Building on Sherco's reputation for off-road prowess, this model represented their dedicated push into the street-legal supermoto segment. It faced stiff competition from established players like the KTM 450 SMR and the Husqvarna SM 450 R, aiming to carve out its niche with a unique blend of European design and performance.
At its heart, the Sherco 4.5i 4T Supermotard was powered by a potent 448.60 ccm (27.37 cubic inches) single-cylinder engine, designed for snappy throttle response and strong mid-range pull – ideal for supermoto hooliganism. This robust powerplant was housed within a chassis contributing to its notably light dry weight of 109.0 kg (240.3 pounds). This low mass, combined with the eager engine, promised a highly agile and responsive riding experience, allowing for quick changes of direction and aggressive cornering typical of the supermotard category.
Riding the Sherco 4.5i 4T Supermotard was characterized by its aggressive, dirt bike-derived ergonomics. The tall 885 mm (34.8 inches) seat height, even at its lowest adjustable setting, positioned the rider high above the pavement, offering excellent visibility and leverage over the bike. This upright stance, coupled with wide handlebars and minimal bodywork, facilitated precise steering inputs and rider movement, crucial for navigating tight turns and executing supermoto maneuvers. The firm suspension, while capable on smooth roads, reflected its off-road lineage, prioritizing handling over plush comfort.
The 2007 Sherco 4.5i 4T Supermotard was primarily aimed at enthusiasts seeking a raw, unadulterated supermoto experience. It appealed to riders who valued lightweight agility, a punchy single-cylinder engine, and the distinctive handling characteristics of a dirt bike adapted for asphalt. Its specialized nature meant it wasn't for everyone, but for those who understood and appreciated the supermotard ethos, it offered a direct and engaging connection to the road, making it a worthy consideration in its class.
