They dont know what engines they gonna use next year. I feel sorry for birks as he has got a job on when the manufacturer isn't getting the bikes through to sell. Whether they will survive is another matter but if the finances are as dire for them as we are led to believe I can't see them affording the costs of developing a new engine, but hope I'm wrong. the bikes would be the first batch this year? 09 when the others are just out with the '10's doesn't look good......

Just change the 09 to 10 if it matters that much. For most riders its not that important ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa4banger Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 So does this mean scorpa as a company is finished ?? if so what does that mean for spare parts etc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not important but if the 09 is the same as the 10 then it begs the question how long can they keep going selling a handful of rebadged machines? We all know that the motor is 25 years old, but that is fine if the market is buying the product, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the relyability issuses that keep appearing on various pages, I know which I would prefer. The French have a habit of surviving against all odds.
