    I find the level of sarcasm hard to read in here sometimes....

    Are they not uncommon? Haven't seen them around on the roads and never really see them come up for sale....

    Its another one, my much loved ikon of a former age of Socialist paradise has now found a new home in Hamilton.

    The Scorpion is post Soviet Era and probably does not have the same build quality

    nice - i have had the same engine in a 99 tenere and 2011 tenere

    the only problem i had with the mz was with the brass housing from the choke - made cold starting a hassle but apart from that i had no trouble

    Oh, I thought they were like BMW's where there's only one model.

    I've got one but it's been off the road while I mess around on my other bikes and extra rego dosen't help. Needs new fork seals too

    I have a vague memory of seeing a few as hire bikes. Likely out of Pacific motorcycles in CHCH.

    I may need to replace the temp sensor and or the 2 little fans, Does anybody have spares/know what fits? Im guessing aftermarket fans will be easy to fit.
