August 24, 200818 yr Does anyone know or have a rough idea of how long we will need to wait untill we can get a look at the 2009 Scorpa SY250 2 stroke?
August 24, 200818 yr Does anyone know or have a rough idea of how long we will need to wait untill we can get a look at the 2009 Scorpa SY250 2 stroke? it will have a tyz motor, so i don't know what radical change youre expecting?
August 24, 200818 yr All i've heard is the graphics will have a bit of red in them - so that's very important
August 24, 200818 yr Author it will have a tyz motor, so i don't know what radical change youre expecting? Do you think so???? Maybe the Rev3 will have a Rev 3 motor too
August 25, 200818 yr I spoke to Greg Florin from Scorpa France in France last Sept, he advised 2008 was the last year for a 2T Scorpa (maybe just the final year with the present motor). Also heard from another source that another 2T motor was mooted but really, I can't confirm this. It seemed that the restrictive European rules on emissions dictated that only 4T engines could be homologated for sale in some/most EU countries - I am pretty sure that Germany, France and Italy can only accept 4T motors - again, needs to be confirmed. Bye, PeterB.

August 26, 200818 yr rubbish. its more likely yamaha won't make them at a realistic price. I think that the Dabster is right. Yamaha is not too interested in this engine. Just look at the grand investment Yamaha has made to adapt the engine to use a hydraulic clutch!!!! Scorpa may well have to drill and tap the hole themselves. Cheers DFW
