Im gonna take a look at the bike this weekend and then decide,i dont think the guy selling it knows much about them,i put it to him about it having a rotax engine and he argued it,so i asked if he was 100% sure its 97,he seemed unsure,hes gonna send me some better pics of the bike so il post them here and see what you guys think,i think he just assumes scorpas were always associated with yamaha,the other issue he told me about is the bike revs up by itself making it unpredictable,sounds like a carb issue to me,i would def need to get my hands on parts

Thats my main fear confirmed,getting parts,checked ebay and all the usual searches and was struggling to find bits,i think il take your advice and save up a bit longer and get somthing a bit easier to maintain parts wise,the price of the bike is tempting but i can see it being a heartbreaker down the road,il give it a miss,thanks for the quick reply

Hows it going people,im seeking some advice on a wee bike ive been offered,it will be my first trials bike,its a 1997 scorpa 250,the guy selling it seems certain its powered with a yamaha engine,ive only seen pictures of the bike and will go for a better look this weekend,am i right in saying it should have a 250 rotax engine,if so how hard is it to get parts and are they expensive,the bike is reasonably cheap but dont want to buy somthing i cant get parts for,also are there any issues i should know about with this model,any advice is much appreciated
