Technical Overview
2008 Sherco 50cc SM Black Panther Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Sherco for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2008 Sherco 50cc SM Black Panther pairs a 49.7 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches).
On the scales, the 50cc SM Black Panther measures 83 kg (183 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 850 mm (33.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
