looking for a Skorpion

Postby bykemike » Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:51 pm

And I am looking at a couple of them now.

I was a long time Baghira owner and enjoyed the bike for a few years. Now it may be time to try another version.

One of the MZs I am looking at may have a stator issue, it appears to have some paint damage due to tank swelling, no mirrors that I could see, (minor)

I may have to lean on you guys a bit, I am a good mechanic with a nice shop but specific product knowledge is hard to beat!

Currently have my share of bikes. A nice 2004 BMW R1100S, an 09 GS 1200, an 04 1150R

This being my favorite right now.

And on another note I will be selling my old Skorpion sport soon as I want a change but it’s probably too far for you!! England!

That is a very nice 04 1150 Rockster! I love the red rim stripe.

I'll post a picture of my 2004 R1150R tomorrow. Similar clean look but mine is a little weathered, PO kept it in a carport on the ocean.

One of my potential Skorps has a single carb conversion but stalls at times when you blip the throttle, looks very clean in the pictures.

It is hard for me to value these bikes, they seem to be in the 2000.00 range if they are clean. Bikes are cheap in the USA right now
