I'm amphidextrous,I've tried riding both left handed and right handed and find I have a much greater degree of control in forward motion right handed than I have facing backwards riding left handed. But to be fair,I dont practise my left hand riding as much as I should because my Minder won't hold my rear vision mirror steady enough for me to get a good line. To get a more accurate indication I really should turn the handle bars around so the throttle is on the left. I won't vote Bil....M4RT,till I'm sure which is the best for me.

Great looking backyard Dennis,what gear you guys use in that type section.These bikes have only just landed in Australia,looking forward to a ride as well.

Good precise report Lloyd

Now run along and play with your puck Canuck How do you know how much to TIP the Judge. Could these be a clue to the Sherlocks of TC.

The 04 and 05 SY 250 that are shipped direct from France to Australia have the flywheel lightened by 450 g from the earlier bikes. The timing marker is advanced fully to the stopper as well.This must be done at Scorpa as the mark is clearly visible where it has been screwed up hard previously.Some of the riders over here retard them back to achieve a smoother idle and stop the tendancy for the motor stalling.Have just received the 05 and will be fitting a 220g flywheel weight and slightly retarding timing to achieve a smoother responce.

Jr lets us know what your new 175 is like after a a few rides.What was your previous bike.

Hey Jay, I had the same trouble with my pinkie 250 Yamahas.When ever I practiced hard on the big rocks ,the next morning the bash plate would be holding oil from the pressure on the engine case.It was a pain because the more times you pressed the bash plate back into position the weaker it became.On my 01 and 02 SY Scorpa had the same happen again an put in a thicker rubber absorber which did not help,finally came to the same conclusion as Ringo," Technique "improves problem disappears.

Thats a beauty Sendero,was Monica Lewiniski a cheerleader down your way by chance.

Three new Betas!!!!! expecting trouble ? Maybe time to change to a more reliable bike Peter.

Good one Woody,TYZ engine with Scorpas plush Ill find you traction suspension,that bench mark just keeps getting higher.

WR is the donk educated guess.

Well thats good news about selling your 600.Trials bikes,especially new ones are pure pleasure there not finnicky.Just remember no matter what you ride.the machine will only do what you tell it too.Hopefully you will get the bug and if you get a 350 and develop your skills more you will appreciate the capabilities of the new bikes.Dont go crashing that race car or you will never have any bucks to buy anything,

only cats have nine lives jesster,count your blessings.then sell your inheritance and buy a brand new trials weapon.

Looks a pretty neat package.How does the ground clearance compare with previous SY 250. It looks to be lower ,or maybe its the angle of pic.

hey guys, everyone knows all the good bits are sent to the SCORPA Factory....

hey , has anyone taken delivery of their 05 Scorpa .
