MZ Skorpion old yamaha 660 5 valve engine (new XT660 is a four valve) I dont like the white wheels, but quite like the retro look of it.
As a single it’d be good for town and insurance would, at a guess, be low.

I would agree with the white wheel comment.
Its got something about I like as well, looks pretty light and should be nimble and in good nick for the age.
So to answer, no I dont think you are wrong, I like it.
I bet white wheels are a fecker to keep clean too.
Bike looks pretty good apart from that
I’d be tempted at that price.
Don’t care what anyone else says a decent single is the nuts for town riding.
I thought you were getting a Baggie???
Looks good for that price… Change of wheels though…
And each to their own
Where can you get parts for it?
beel pondering one of those, but as alex says where would you get the parts
I would be more inclined to the yamaha all over version . Spares probably easier to find too .
I might just of found one 'nd all ! In some undiscovered corner of 'tinternet - please not another 200 mile trip to look at a POS!
Num’s - I like the retro look of the MZ (but havent seen one in the flesh) but that yammy looks nice, whats its name then?
put a Ferrari badge on it
I’ve ridden one of those and they are a delight.
Curious to look at I’ll agree but the frame is lovely (Seymore and Powell I think) and the rest is simply just quality bits screwed together. Almost a guaranteed future “classic”.
Spares: Plastics are the only real problem, there are none of those left except second hand. The rest is easy. They were pretty much a kit bike built from good stuff bought in, just like the Baghira and Mastiffs.
I’d buy it like a shot at that price if I had the room to keep it.
Hmm. Do I really need a little used dining room?
It’s probably a silly thing to point out … but I’d be wary of photos that are date stamped 2 years ago … every possibility the photos are from when the guy bought it and the bike looks nothing like this any more
The yamaha version was called the SZR 660 . It was always described as a sweet handling little bike in the magazines .
Updated a tad, that’s now a Suzuki MT-03.
The vendor might be posting 2 year old photo’s but his feedback score is excellent.
custom power coat the wheels and voila!
So:
DUNCMAC: Are you going to bid?
My guess is that it will top out at +/- £1K ish, maybe as high as £1.3K.
Nah, I’ll leave this one. - using the photos used by the previous seller is such an ebay classic!
I’m after a baghira or mastiff MZ.
Not having much luck though, found one but its up north and the seller thinks it was a good idea to let the tax run out.
So unless I can borrow a bike trailer I dont think its practical.
surely Yamaha MT-03?
Top guess! Thats what it went for. If its was as good as the photos, total bargin.
