Sherco motorcycles was founded in 1997 by Frenchman Marc Teissier (who previously founded Scorpa in 1993). Marc wanted to bring back the Bultaco name and his first model was called the Sherco – a combination of Bultaco and their famous trials model, the Sherpa.
The Bultaco Sherco was immediately successful in competition: trails legend Graham Jarvis won the 1999 Scottish Six days with it. The “2.5” in the model name refers to the 249cc two-stroke engine, which is paired with a five-speed transmission.
Claimed wet weight was just 154 pounds and suspension duties were handled by Paioli and OLLÉ.
Livery for the first year bike was in silver/red in honor of the Bultaco that inspired it, but the company would eventually drop the name to just become known as Sherco and adopt blue as its color of choice.

Please Note:
Florida law requires the payment of sales tax from all persons making purchases from businesses in Florida. This includes out of state residents purchasing motor vehicles in Florida from motor vehicle dealers.
There are two exceptions: (1) purchases made by licensed resellers/dealers with copies of the dealer’s license and tax certificate provided to us at the time of sale, or (2) where we consign and ship the motorcycle to the buyer (i.e interstate commerce). Dealer purchases will be reassigned to the named licensed dealer and not to any personal account.
In most cases and pursuant to existing interstate agreements, purchaser will receive credit for any taxes paid to Florida. For more information please see this Tax Information Publication (TIP) from the Florida Department of Revenue.
Florida further allows tax abatement, i.e. a reduced tax rate, where the purchaser completes Form DR-123 and provides a notarized copy of the same to the seller at the time of sale. In such cases, the tax may be reduced to the lesser of the Florida rate or the rate in the buyer’s home state, whichever is less.
We therefore will be collecting the Florida sales tax of 6% on all purchases except those by licensed dealers having provided current copies of the dealer license and tax resale certificate to us at time of sale, or on products shipped by us to the buyer in the buyer’s home state. We will apply or refund any tax abatement applicable for persons who have provided the completed Form DR-123 at time of sale. The abatement will be processed along with the paper and title work after the sale. Florida residents may further be subject to their county surtax, where applicable. This applies only to select counties where you might live, generally 0.5 to 1%.
We will process Florida title/tag for Florida residents or persons titling said vehicles for street use in Florida. This typically runs about $150-160 in Florida charges + sales tax for title transfers and registration of street bikes, less for OHV vehicles where customers require OHV titles and green stickers. We never charge extra dealer or bogus document fees.
We must strictly adhere to these policies. Feel free to call Bullpen Cycles [484-788-9550] with your questions. We’ll do our best to help.
