Sherco SM 50
The Sherco SM 50 is a supermotard moped manufactured between 2006 and 2012 by the Catalan firm Sherco, based in Caldes de Montbui (Barcelona). Its roots go back to 2002, when Sherco acquired the French HRD Company and launched its first mopeds under the name Sherco HRD 50, available in Enduro and SM versions. In 2008, after an aesthetic restyling with new fibers and a dual front cowl, the model was renamed simply Sherco 50 SM, consolidating the identity of the Spanish brand in the high performance moped segment.
The Sherco SM 50 stands out for its agility, its proven mechanical base and the wide availability of motorcycle spare parts, making it a practical choice for daily use as well as for maintenance and preparation.
