MZness

[Toledo]

So im the sucker that purchased the MZ Skorpion sport that was on trademe a few weeks ago. Are there any other MZ owners out there in NZ? How many of these actually came into NZ?

[ellipsis]

...what is uncommon about MZ's...

[Toledo]

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

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

Voltaire on here had one for sale on TM a while back.
Its either the one you have, or its another one.

[Toledo]

Dont think its the one I have, would like to hear from him about his one tho...

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 :rolleyes:

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. :bleh:

There is one at Whangapaora, goes very well and regularly used.

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

A guy in Nelson a while back was selling a frame and tank cheap a while back.

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.

Does anyone know if the MZ Bagheera ever came into NZ?
