How many skorpion sports left in the uk

[silver]

Ive only ridden the Skorpion once for about 80 miles, Its light and fun to ride, brakes quite well and has reasonable power. The XBR is similar but it feels much more dated in the handling wallows around bit, brakes are rubbish, power is significantly down on Scorpion, but i like the styling. I was thinking of selling the XBR but now i think i will keep both for a while and decide which way to go later. I had an SZR some years ago and the Skorp is similar, but i remember feeling cramped on the SZR.

I think it's quite interesting what you say about the xbr. I also think it's funny to what you said about the szr too. My first skorpion left endless memories of fun which I never captured on any other bike. I only had it less than a year as I came into some money and px-ed it for a Ducati 748, interesting experience but bad move. I wanted my skorpion back and the dealer traded it somewhere. Oh well I thought and kept the duke for a few months then it had to go as it was too hard to live with. I then wanted another skorpion but didn't find one and test tried the next best thing an szr660. It handled like the skorpion but it was short to the bars and so cramped that it was a no no move. After not finding another for a while I ended up with a 'Tigcraft' which was a Honda dominator 650 engine in a bespoke Tigcraft chassis and was in 'Bike' magazine years ago. It was too much track bike and crude but also fun on the flip side, but still I hankered after another skorpion..........

By the way a know what you mean about living with the Ducati. I love mine but it could never be the main bike.
