Fingers crossed and hopeful for them.
T'would be great if they come up with an updated Skorpion down the road.
'Course, it won't sell worth a damn in the US of A :) , but I'd sure like to see one and would buy if ever available.

Unfortunately I dont have much hope of MZ ever getting a "big bike" in production again in the near future. I'll just keep my Skorpion and stock up on some spares to keep it running indefinately :-D

At the moment I'm hoping the guy's at Mac Motorcycle will be able to launch a nice bike based on the new Yamaha 660 4-valve.

Yes isn't it :D

I would get one of these two models.... The Buell Blast lump that they originally designed the bike around sure does look nice but it is not something I would want in any motorcycle of mine... The yamaha 660 is a better choice but not as picture perfect.

Hi,
Just rode the rt125 this morning after months of rain,ice and snow in the UK. Thought to myself "what a lovely little bike". Simple and fun to ride and fantastic for inner city riding. Struggles up hills a bit but that can be easily managed if given enough revs. Great little engine if kept in it's power band.
I really hope they carry on making this bike and hopefully bring out a 250cc version.

David.
