1994 Muz (MZ) ETZ 660cc Skorpion Tour
(Powered by the acclaimed five-valve unit from Yamahas XTZ660)
18,435km (Very LOW km's)
REG on HOLD
WOF valid till 17/07/2010
New oil
New oil filter
New coolant
New battery
This is my Muz, my pride and joy since August 2007. But its time to find her a new home.
Overall condition I would consider very good, a few scratches as you would expect with the age.
Holeshot performance sport exhaust installed with jet kit.

Previous exhaust is included in sale so bike can be converted back to original specs if desired.
660cc Yamaha single cylinder, it has a great sounding thump; and with the relatively open sport pipe I think it sounds fantastic when opened up.
I've never had any problems, whether commuting around Auckland, touring the Corromandel or even down to Nelson and back.
This bike is pretty unique, great if you want something different but don't want to pay a fortune for a classic or custom. Plus you get the reliability that comes with a Yamaha engine.
The Muz has somewhat of a cult following overseas, its a popular single, I've never seen a bad review.
MCN overall verdict rating is 4 (out of 5).
"The MZ Skorpion was stylishly designed (by acclaimed Brits Seymour-Powell) single using a Yamaha engine which proved a refreshingly able antidote to Japanese fours in the mid-to-late 90s. Light, lithe, affordable, generally reliable and reassuringly practical." http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikereviews/searchresults/Bike-Reviews/MZ/MZ-Skorpion-660-1994-03/
"Yamaha engined, 660cc powered Skorpion is a bike that pleasantly surprises almost everyone with a mind open enough to ride it." http://www.carolenash.com/insidebikes/bike-reviews/miscellaneous/muz-skorpion/
"This single cylinder creation has blitzkrieged M.M.M.'s shores and left us wanting to share what makes this bike a winner." http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/mz/mz_skorpion_660_sport%2094.htm
[Note/ review is for sport, not tour model]
"Overall, the Skorpion Tour is an enjoyable, competent machine whose simple approach often yields smiling results." http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/first-impression-muz-skorpion-tour-18866.html
