Good Points: Big engine.
Low maintenance.
Very economical although big engine.

Bad Points: 5speed gearbox sometimes requires the 6th gear as well.
care with luggages when diving especially if loaded.

General comments: Very good handling and well balanced, although a bit of extra care should be taken when driving with rear luggages. Overall speed is decent altough preferably the sixth gear sometimes can be used as well for long travelling.
Maintenance is very low, if oil is changed every 4000-5000kms its enough together with the oil filter as usual, the spark plugs needs to be replaced every almost 3/4 servicew not because its blow, but for peace of mind.
Always drive will safety equipment, helmet and lights on even in daylight. Be wise and be careful.

Very understated motorcycle, if you get the chance take one for a ride you won't be disappointed..best single motor cycle ever ridden. It will be hard to replace it as it is no longer made.Good ride and handling, fairly light weight compact tourer..fully adjustable clip-ons bars and foot pegs..economical free revving yam xtz motor.

During my ownership it never got cleaned, but did get regular oil chan ...

Bought my MZ Skorpion Traveller new 1997. Firecracker Red Skorpion Sport. Ran it in carefully then made some modifications to the motor. K&N Filter, Stage 2 Dynojet Kit & Renegade Can. Now produced 52bhp at rear wheel and revved freely to redline but VERY LOUD!!! Great bike for having fun on the twisty bits which would keep up with bigger Sports Bikes but ran out of puff on the long straight bits. Good comfort for distance riding. Never let me down. Always got curious and admiring looks when par ...

Having been an MZ rider for over twenty years this is a totally biased review, even if most of those before were 250 two strokes.

Actually I find the size of this bike very similar to my early MZ TS250 which had flat rather than raised bars. It is a bit heavier, which after years on light weights is quite noticeable. However once one learns to steer through the bars as well as the body everything is fine.

As a day to day bike it is great. It has been the length of this island, and down to ...
