2012 Sherco SM 125 Black Panther Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Sherco's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Sherco SM 125 Black Panther pairs a 123.7 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 54.0 x 54.0 mm (2.1 x 2.1 inches).

On the scales, the SM 125 Black Panther measures 99 kg (218 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.
