Hello after 1 year with baggy

[Drew]

There are three main Skorpion models: The Sport, the Traveler and the Tour. The Sport also comes in a race-ready flavor and is coined the "Sport Cup" after the racing series. While they all share the same motor, suspension and frame, the ergonomics are quite different between models. The Sport models have a maxi-pad style seat, low clip-ons and either full or half fairing. The Traveler has higher clip-ons, a standard seat, a full-fairing and hard bags. The Tour has the same seat as the Traveler but has regular handle bars and looks rather bland in its unfaired form.

Quick clarification... There was also another Sport model, called the Sport Replica. Motorcycle.com breaks down the model for you here:

But what is that black cylindrical thing under the frame down-tube? I presume mine's got one of those too but I can't see it under the fairing...

That would be your charcoal "evap" cannister. It catches any gas that might spill or evaporate out. Most owners of the unfaired bikes take that thing off the second they get the bike. I'm pretty sure it's just there to clear the Swiss emissions laws, but there could be some other reason too. Perhaps you need them in California? Anyhow, it's a BMW part, and it's a cinch to get it off.

Hi Drew,i found that on the net,the three models of Scorpion.
I didn't know about the sport replica and would be cool to have one of the 16 imported to the US but seems like a lot of money over $10,000 new way back then.
I really don't need a forth bike as i just sold on my Harley to a guy in Switzerland on ebay<exchange rate and all>as it was the least used bike.I got it new as a 95th limited edition.
But that tour i pictured seems worth looking at.

Here are some pictures i took of the areas i ride in .I live in Northern Vermont about an hour and a half South from downtown Montreal, Canada.
Lots of nice roads and hardly any police The first two are from Mount Philo state park in Vermont overlooking lake Champlain which is 112 miles long and where i live 10 miles across at the widest point.One of a very few lakes that flows South to North and out into the ST.Lawrence seaway in Montreal into the Atlantic ocean.

Here is the Harley i just sold a few months back.I had it for 10 years and only put on 10,000 miles.1998 Harleys 95th year edition springer,it is a replica of a 1946 Harley.
Too many people in the states have them so i kinda wanted out as i like different bikes like the MZ and Aprilia brand are real different.

Wow... what a great place to live!
