I`ve just put this in the "500 section" but I think I should have put it here instead, sorry :oops:

Hi fella`s. I`ve recently bought a tidy (not mint but nice) 1994 Skorpion Sport in yellow, in fact I`ve not even ridden it yet :shock: But sitting on it I`m wondering if its going to be too tough on my back?? Is there anyone who has a Country who fancies a swap? My Skorp sounds "sweet" but as I say, not mint!? Probably a long shot but thought it was worth an ask...you never know? :wink: UK ONLY...Thanks

You might want to try it and see before you make a decision to swap. I have a Skorpion and a Benelli Tornado and the Skorp is like an armchair in comparison. The only difficult thing is the seat squab, it gets a bit hard after a few hours.

However, if you decide you need to sell it as a "bridge" to getting a 500, please let me know. I'm looking for a donor bike for a ground-up project, so the rougher the better. I almost got hold of a cat C write off recently but the sale fell through.
