Heavily Modified Skorpion 660 For Sale

After thinking about it for awhile I am going to be listing my MZ skorpion for sale. Located in Atlanta, GA, USA.

Heavily modified, has a 1999 R6 front end, Kawasaki ninja 400 rear wheel, 2006 R6 rear shock with gxsr1000 linkage. Has a gxsr750 exhaust (titanium and sounds good, but not loud). An FCR pumper carb off of a 2005 WR450R, rejetted with a wide band o2.

The cooling system has been upgraded to a 2018 KTM duke 390. The spark is provided by the system sold by Bill on here, as is the rectifier. Has a lithium ion battery. Full rewire has happened, with high quality connectors everywhere.

Front brake master is off of a 2015 Ducati multistrada. Feels fantastic. New stainless brake lines front and rear.

Custom headlight and tail light. Comes with the tour seat and plastics.

The bike is still a project. It runs great and pulls like crazy. So light (320ish lbs with gas) and really pretty comfortable. The suspension is night and day better than stock.

It needs some cosmetic work. The plastics need mounting points fitted. The tank should be finished, either painted or clear coated for the natural color.

The bike is 90% of the way there, I just don't have the time or energy to do that last 10%.

Any reasonable offer gets it.

Please feel free to hit me up if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi there jpmsteadi, how you doin?

What a shame after all the work you put into it and all the entertainment you gave us with it! :wink:
Good luck with the sale.

Cheers.

Yes jpmsteadi, I was wondering what happened with my favourite thread, and this is a very regrettable turn...! Most of all, it's a great pity you can't fully harvest the fruits of your excellent labor, but of course sometimes plans change - it's life.

I would love to have a bike like that: a light & powerful single, excellent for twisty roads. For me, the distance (transport, tax & duties) is prohibitive; no sale here.

I hope you find suitable rewards in your sale.

Thanks guys! Yeah, sad to see it go, but once work started back up and life kicked into high gear it's hard to find the time and energy. I would rather someone be enjoying it than sitting in my garage and riding it once every couple of months.
