Excuse my ignorance here, but is this as special as the seller says it is?
MZ/MUZ Skorpion Replica (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MZ-MuZ-SKORPION-REPLICA-MINT-condition_W0QQitemZ270440391404QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycles?hash=item3ef780e2ec&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14)
It's a nice bike, but £4500 for a second hand Skorpion? :o

Yeah, I saw that last week or so....
They are pretty rare. Main difference is the trick front end, brakes, good wheels and twin cans I reckon (latter standard?). Rare beasties, so I suppose they are worth what someone will pay.
Never seen one for sale or on the road, but am willing to guess it will still have the poor plastics, crap clocks, the same (good) switchgear etc.
If the motor is giving 60 bhp then its had good money spent on it. But I'd want to see charts!
I'd rather have a gilera saturno... all the kudos and cheaper too!

If it were available to me and I had the readies I would buy it outright.. WOW a rare beastie in mint condition...

Ok, you live & learn! ;D I'm usually pretty up on singles but I didn't realise that MZ/MUZ ever made anything like that! Still a very nice bike though.

From Boyd's link
Ahem!...
"Equaling the front forks race-quality pedigree are Brembo Gold Line four-piston calipers putting the squeeze on two full-floating 280mm drilled rotors. The remote-reservoir master cylinder, equipped with a four-position lever reach adjustment, forces fluid through dual steel-braided brake lines. A Brembo two-piston fixed caliper with 240mm rotor takes care of braking duties at the rear"
This is not biking, this is Marks and Spencer's biking...
