Hi, Just joined the forum. I am in Australia and have had a 2000 MZ Skorpion Tour since 2001, bought it new and have put 95,000 klms on it since then. Bike has been absolutely completely troublefree and is just great fun to ride, ride every day to work and on weekends with the occasional tour, went to Oz GP last yrear,5000 ks and used about 1/2l oil. Always liked big singles,had Yamaha SR 500 for 23 years and 300,000+ klms, also have a Yamaha R5 cafe racer,which I have owned since 1972 and has gone through many changes. Problem here in Oz is getting parts if required for the MZ, local agent has closed shop and gone up country, and the so called National agent doesn't seem interested in doing anything about getting parts. Would be interested in contacting fellow owners in Oz,as there are not many here. Everyone who I talk to who has had one seems to be sorry they sold or traded up.
