General Comments

I have owned a MZ Skorpion Traveller for over two years and still love the machine.

I bought it used with 9000km on the clock. I have ridden it across Australia and used as my commuter for two years.

I have improved the suspension, simply because I had a gift of a Penske rear shockie almost given to me, and it is a brilliant mod.

The engine (Yamaha 660cc) being single cylinder has good torque but a rather narrow band of rpm in which to make the machine perform. Nontheless, I would out-corner most sport machines (the frame is a British design).

Parts, outside of engine servicing can be an issue but the UK agents, BSA Regal are brilliant, reasonably priced and as quick into Perth (Waestern Australia) from Southampton (UK) as any parts I have to get from the East coast.

The only real negative is the poor quality wiring, but that is not unique to this motorcycle.

    I found this review helpful because...He covered the bikes traits very well. I have owned my Skorpion Traveller for 7 years and the only major thing I have done is replace a front brake rotor. Great Bike.....
