There are quite a few other nice bits on it apart from the powerful engine, although I see what you mean Marky.

I doubt there is a detailed technical explaination it is probably very simple as is the design of the clutch. My guess is the spring rate is not linear and you are in a stiff zone. No pun intended.

I don't know for sure but think a set of measured plates is the answer.

Ross Danby 7th. in the 125's Sam Haslam 4th in 250's Lots of queues led to alot of time penalties, Sampson lost 10 on time and wigg a couple. A good win for Alexz has him in equal 1st. place with Gubian on the works 125 Scorpa and one round to go.

The wholesale price is more than

Kokusan is it programmeable and the ducati not, or vice versa?

If its a practice tyre then a tube is an option as well.

The KTM's in this weeks TMX look very similar. Wasn't there a rumour KTM was thinking of buying up Beta? If there is a tie up then Suzuki will be out the door sharpish.

Sounds like a TLR to me.........

Aye when I was a lad etc etc. Seriously Munch has a point we did have some stuff which was a bit beyond me to be honest, but if either him or me had been on the 125 Scorps I'm not sure we would have attempted half the stuff we did. Never done a rock step section in third in a trial before thats for sure and if I felt that was right for the 290 what would I have thought about it for the Scorpa. Conversly and here is the exception there was a guy 2 routes harder on a 125 and he was getting up 7 foot steps comparitevely easily, but the thing was nearly murdered to do it. Think it was one of these French 160 conversions though.

I'm sorry but I just don't buy this Birkett you will do as well on a little bike philosophy at all. Taken to extreme we would do just as well with cable brakes and clutch twin shocks and drum brakes. The amount of power churned out by my 290 is directly related to the amount I twist the throttle, ok I use first maybe more than I should but I have never run out of power on a hill climb or thought my bike won't get up a step. I doubt I would ever feel the same on a ttr.

I don't think putting a trailie engine in a trials bike frame, which I could do in my shed, makes either a) a good bike a competitive machine or c) what could be compared to the new mont or sherco in any shape or form. Without doubt the little scorpa is a cracking machine and in the right hands can do amazing stuff, but it has limitations, and I would rather eat snails than ride one.

Scorpa 2005 photos are out as well now so with Sherco and GG it really is a case of spot the difference in the 2 strokes, exclude the cosmetic colour changes and they are pretty much the same as 04. No mention of a Scorpa 4t so it looks like a Sherco mont race to get the 4 strokes out to the Public, who will be first???

Yep less than a tenner now and easy to use, try jessops.

Jarvis has a second tip facing rearward.

I think it will come as some relief that the air filter is much more easily accessible than the current model.

Will it be yours or a one off ride for testing?

Whats wrong Steve?

Sensible not curious.

Something large and s****y I bet, and no I don't mean a lwb sprinter.

I do, but looked at flights and nothing reasonable fits, Perces going though, he will be the one in the richmond winners t shirt!

Sarcastic twaaat. I gather some have had main bearing problems but then not so many have had there waterpumps knocked off, eh? How much for a mont? You can't be serious!

Yes it does, hope its available at the BVM test day, glad I got my "04" when I did even more now. As an aside it looks like Sherco riders Jarvis at least will get the choice of 4t or 2t so that will be interesting in itself.

Is that better than a broken nose! That 4t sounds interesting, sherco may have done the trick, if the price is right?

Don't worry too much as Perce has obviously greased a few palms and page 28 in TMX has some nice big shots of the 3 day. Wish I had done it now..........
