Hi All

I have just bought a Scorpa 250 SY I was told it was an 06. Does anyone know how to interpret the frame number? Or know of any other distinguishing features?

It has a grey frame, silver wheels, snail type chain tensioner, linkless swingarm, paiolla forks with preload and extension adjustment on the top.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Are the yokes black and is the bash guard flat?

No they are silver and the bash guard is flat on the bottom but unevenly slanted on the upturn, if that makes sense?

Black wheels, Yokes and a flat sump guard as standard on an 06.

Silver fork's and yokes are 05 or older. Grey frame Black stanchion's are 07

frame number is VMUSCY249SC500347

Do you think it could be an 05?

Photos may help:-

2005?

..and..

2007? but you can see the flat bottomed bash plate

I would say after looking at the photos, it definetely has the bent bash plate.

Thanks HAM2

Here's a shot of my 2005 from the front but you can see the standard colour scheme and the silver wheels/ yokes etc. This one's original as I've had it from new.

Yep that looks exactly as mine does. I guess it's an 05 then, I'm not bothered I only paid

Scorpadave, I can see your confusion..both Godzilla and Pete-Scorpa3 claim to have had an 05 but,have different bash plates?

I see that the year on year changes to the marque were very subtle indeed (front forks/clutch actuation/brake disks/bash plate etc.)...is there a 'best of breed' that the Scorpa fan club would recommend?

I ask this after reading Godzilla's TCgarage comments

I've just read that the 12th digit of the vin number is the year. That confirms she's an 05.

Thanks everyone
