Title: This can`t be right??
Post by: manxie on April 10, 2016, 07:34:16 PM

I`ve just been looking around and wondered how many MZ Skorpion Sports were left as I read an old MCN article saying there were only 30  :o Now it appears there are far less than that, about 8 or 9 ???  :o :o ........ seems hard to believe though  :-\

Place you arrow / finger / curser on the graph and it shows you what`s left ..... na, can`t be right...

I've seen this before. I'm not sure how accurate it is but it's fun to play with.  Remember the Honda CB200? everyone who couldn't afford a 250 in the mid 70's had one of these (pre 125 L plate limit) and they could do 100mph but only when no-one else was there....well apparently there are 6 left!

I know where there`s a CB200 lying in a shed, rotting away but the owner wont sell  ??? Cable operated disc, great  ;)
