March 18, 201610 yr I would love a new Yamaha TWO Stroke. Not this overweight anchor with the usual crap brakes found on the other bikes. A NEW Yamaha, yes!!!!!!
March 18, 201610 yr Rode a 4t scorpa, It wasnt a patch on a Beta 4t or a Montesa. The motor is enormous compared to a 2t. Nice decals and thats about it. How many of those people wanting one of these bought the scorpa ?
March 18, 201610 yr Yamaha is one of my last hopes of a Japanese Manufacturer making a good 2T Trials bike. The release of the YZ250X "Hare Scramble / GNCC" 2T helps keep more people riding 2-strokes in the Woods, among the sea of Orange in New England Enduros and Hare Scrambles. A modern TY250, TY280 or TY300 2-stroke Trials bike from Yamaha would certainly help get this sport to grow in the USA!
March 18, 201610 yr I've got one of these Yam engined Scorpa things lying about somewhere. It;s a hoot to ride but if you want to ride like a pro best avoided; No doubt the pure Yam version is a bit more refined.
March 18, 201610 yr Author I think all you nae sayers need to watch Kenichi Kuroyama ride this bike. He is a pro trials rider and was one of the Trials de nations Japanese team members. Easily one of the top twenty riders in the world. Check him out on some You Tube videos type Japanese trials and his name. Edited March 19, 201610 yr by billyt
March 19, 201610 yr They ride stop allowed and do big steps and jumps, so a beast like this is not so much of a disadvantage, plus the fact the motor is sorted by yamaha r and d in japan. As above its basically a four stroke wr in a scorpa frame = scorpa which very few bought. Changing decals doesnt mean a good bike, one that will sell or be sold. this thread has been around 3 times if i remember correctly.
March 19, 201610 yr Billy if they make it buy one if its what you want its your choice. Im just answering your original question. Kenichi rides one ? Well so what hes probably getting paid to
March 19, 201610 yr I read a a review of the new yamaha trials bike according to tem it was brilliant they are also bring out a 2 stroke model but its exactly the same as the scorpa Heres a vidio of it Heres the 2 stroke Edited March 19, 201610 yr by dwb5151
March 19, 201610 yr thats a sherco Its actualy a yamaha trials bike but with the shero engine and frame which isnt a bad thing
March 20, 201610 yr How is a Sherco engine and frame a Yamaha? rofl Yep Heffgem made me laugh. Irish logic? Edited March 20, 201610 yr by nigel dabster
