What were the changes do you know? I think I've only ridden an 06' and an 07' and I didn't really much care for them, but if they made them better in 08' I may have to seek one out to try.

I agree the Beta is sooo nice and the best I've ridden. I rode Cody's 4t when he was on one back in 07-08 or so and it was a monster, great bike, but you can't compare all of them to his though. I haven't ridden a Montesa at all, and the few Scorpas I rode didn't impress me all that well, but I'm sure it was all in the setup.

Well from what it says under your name it seems you have an 01' which doesn't have a guard over the exhaust and makes it really very easy to dent. What I did on mine was replace it with an 02' up style that has the guard on it. Of course wait till either your packing is shot or it's unuseable to upgrade so you can kill two birds with one stone on that.

Wow, that's absolute crazy price! Could buy almost 3 new bikes for that!

That stinks man, I know it's a good haul for you too, I was kinda surprised to see you post the thread up and everything because of the sheer distance of it, but I know there's nothing like it anywhere else. I'm not so sure I'm gonna make it yet, but I will most likely go down for a while just to say hi to everyone.

You making the trip Copey? Even though it's in my backyard not sure if I'm going to make it, may just come to see everybody haha

I'm also curious about this? Anyone running the NJB's and are they pretty good?

I checked this site and they sell quite a bit of stuff, is the Majesty 200 frame the one that will fit the TY250?

Haha, wish it was that eaay, but I'm no Eddy Lejune.

Is there anything you can do to these bikes to actually make them rideable in a trials setting?

Would extra battery packs be expensive? I don't think one charge would make it through a trail. BTW Scorpa, all we really want is either the old Yammie Scorpa or an entirely new motor instead of the Sherco!

Welcome Swamp! We have quite a bit of riders in your area in the STRA. I'm in Tennessee and we have an event at the TTC next weekend. There's also a fabulous place to ride just north of you in Springville, AL.

Yeah, I've looked at those, but I'm not sure I want to cover my whole rim yet. I may do it as a last resort, but I really like the color of the rims.

Yeah, I emailed Brad a couple months ago asking if he could make me some rim stickers, but he hasn't gotten back with me yet. Probably super busy.

Well, it's a very common issue, my wheels are a bit scratched. Just wondering if anybody knew a match for the brownish/black paint on the rims so I could touch up, or if there are other good fixes to this?

Looks to be in great shape! Good luck with it, if you can ever get it past the wife!

Yeah, the wheels with the black edges as well as Scorpa written around the inside, and yeah my are scratched pretty good now that you mention it. LOL

I wonder what changes other graphics there is from last years? Looks good, but I don't know about that orange frame. I'm not sure what's with the sudden change to orange instead of blue for factory colors. IMO it would look better with subtle orange and more black and white. Also notice it doesn't have the nice Scorpa type wheels they used to have, that will be missed.

Yeah, it looks great, I haven't had a go on one yet, but I bet it's a ball. I know if I had a choice of a new bike, that'd be the one I'd get.

That would be good, haha. Those videos are obviously more rider than bike though. I'm sure one set up properly is a pretty good bike, I've ridden a couple and just could not get along with it, I liked the Beta 4T a ton more. I haven't ridden a Montesa yet, which I really need to, I bet those are excellent.

Haha, yeah. I'm not expecting a huge change, but I agree somethings gonna be changed soon, so I'm eager to see if this is the year they go for a redesign. I personally love my Scorpa too, but one of the things I liked the most is/was the Yamaha engine. I am very glad they have continued with the Sherco motor though, which I consider to be about the next best thing out there.(Motor wise, although Betas are strong as well). But one of the things they need to look at doing is designing a new motor, that might shift the focus off them being second runner to Sherco and give their individuality back. I'm also not sure of their focus, who knows. They may not be producing the frames anymore as well, and just using the leftovers for a while till they redesign. Who knows really? But I have my belief that it will be great in the end.

Hey Chris, this is Jordan, and I do agree to some standard. Hunter is gonna be quite good in the future, I'm sure of it, so maybe he will stick with Scorpa and we'll have a pro on one again, not saying Brad and Ryan aren't doing an amazing job (which they are) but it has slacked off a bit since Will was the pro rider and we had Bo, Chase, and a few others riding them in the nats as well as Scorpa USA being run specifically by Mike Harker, splitting up the responsibilities of Brad. Anyway, I'm eager to see what Scorpa does for 2012.

Maybe, ours isn't pushing them like they used to either. A couple years back there was good support and even a pro rider riding for them, now it's gone back down again. Hopefully Scorpa's support will increase, I hate to see them go altogether.

I guess I don't get it. They've announced the return of the 125 with pics and even a vid that I saw, but no info on the rest of the 2012 models? They are a little behind now, GG, Sherco, and Beta have all announced their new models. Anyone have any info?
