Review

The 2006 Sherco City Corp 125 Supermotard emerged as a nimble contender in the competitive 125cc supermoto segment. Sherco, a manufacturer with roots in off-road and trials, brought its expertise to the urban landscape with this model. In its era, it faced off against other popular lightweight supermotards such as the Aprilia SX 125 and the Yamaha XT125X, aiming to capture riders seeking a fun and agile machine for daily commutes and spirited weekend rides. Its lineage reflected Sherco's commitment to producing capable and engaging motorcycles, even in the smaller displacement categories.

Powering the City Corp 125 is a 123.70 ccm (7.55 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This robust powerplant provides accessible power delivery, suitable for navigating urban environments with ease. The motorcycle’s dry weight comes in at a light 107.0 kg (235.9 pounds), contributing to its flickable nature and responsive handling. Fuel capacity stands at 8.50 litres (2.25 gallons), offering a decent range for its intended use. While specific power output figures aren't provided, the engine's design prioritizes reliability and user-friendliness, a common characteristic for 125cc four-strokes of this vintage.

With a seat height of 900 mm (35.4 inches) at its lowest adjustable setting, the City Corp 125 offers a commanding view of the road, typical of the supermotard category. This elevated seating position, combined with wide handlebars, provides an upright stance, enhancing rider control and comfort during both short errands and longer urban excursions. The supermotard setup, characterized by street tires on spoked wheels and long-travel suspension, allows for confident handling over varied road surfaces, absorbing bumps and imperfections effectively. Its design encourages an active riding style, characteristic of supermoto machines.

The 2006 Sherco City Corp 125 Supermotard was primarily aimed at new riders, urban commuters, and those seeking an economical yet entertaining motorcycle. Its lightweight nature and manageable power make it an approachable option for learning the ropes of motorcycling, while its supermotard styling offers a distinct aesthetic appeal. For riders who value agility, a spirited riding experience, and the practicality of a 125cc machine, the City Corp 125 presents a compelling package.
