Title: I miss my MZ Skorpion
Post by: manxie on August 16, 2019, 06:23:59 PM

 :( I`ve had a Skorpion Sport, loved it but the riding position didn`t suit me  :( So I sold it and bought a Skorpion Traveller. Loved it too and perfect for my needs, but then I was offered a 18yr old Harley with mega low miles. I was £1200 shy of the asking price so sold my Traveller and bought the Harley. MISTAKE, BIG MISTAKE  :-[ :o

The Harley thank goodness is now long gone, so I`ve bought another Skorpion Traveller  ;D ;D Not getting delivery until the end of September ….. can`t wait ….. great bikes (IMHO)  ;)

 Hey Manxie, I don't think you are on your own in saying that you sold a bike that you really liked. I know I have... on more than one occasion 🙄.

The good news is that the Yamaha 660 powered MuZs are currently often cheaper than the two strokes we know and love.

The engines seem tough, some of the ancillaries are getting hard to source mind.  Silencers, instruments and the like very difficult.

There is even a 2013 'new' Skorpion Tour on eBay at the moment.

Good Thumpers.
