2005: GRAHAM JARVIS

SHERCO 2.9 TWO-STROKE

Born and raised on the Sherco from day one of its introduction as a motorcycle trials manufacturer, Graham Jarvis put the name on the map for its enthusiastic owners. There was nothing flashy or fancy about the Sherco; it mirrored many modern-day trials machines with its water-cooled two-stroke engine and steel frame. However, it was that man, Jarvis, who gave the machine the winning edge as he took on the might of the two Gas Gas riders, Steve Colley and Shaun Morris, to take a well-deserved title; one he would retain consecutively until 2008.
