What about Yamaha Scorpio Z?

Get outta here!

I have to say, having had an opportunity to ride EJKDDORAI's Scorpio on the country side my first thoughts were.. Man am I riding a bike? Or am I floating on a cloud? Don't be fooled by the single cylinder 225, It definitely moves from a standstill. It's a little less than ideal on the motorway but it certainly carts around anyones arse in the CBD. Great for beginners, commuters & small people, however it's said that the ideal weight for a bike is approximately 3x the rider weight. For small people like me this thing is truely amazing, effortlessly flicking it here and there. On an endless hairpin road this is a true winner! Shame big boys!

Does anyone know here I can find aprox. 155 kg of lead ballast for my Scorpio?

You can also ride one waving both hands in the air - ay EJ?

[EJK]

You can also eat while riding Scorpio

This is true - that Scorpio is a dream to ride. Feather light clutch, awesome riding position, and more than enough power for city commuting, and motorway if you really have to.

You should be able to have the small bikes humming along at high revs ok too. (not sustained high revs on a 2-stroke). I have mine sitting within 500RPM of redline for reasonable periods from 2nd thru to 4th and sometimes 5th too! Single cylinders won't like being over-revved past redline much at all, good way to bend or snap valve shafts from experience.

Well I have had mine for 8 days now after 6 months on a GN 125cc, I spent weeks neigh months [driving the missus mad] researching testing looking and more testing finished back near the start with the Scorpio Z so got it.........GREAT bike, cant be happier comfort ease to ride cost effective and economical. am over 95kg carries me around the city and motorway with ease. whatever you choose you will enjoy it,

Ha!

Those were the days.

did my test on a scorpio. local bike shop let me borrow it in exchange for a box of beers and a full tank at the end.
great bikes for nipping around town in. nice and light. did pretty good on the open road as well for that part of the test
the scorpio managed to blast me across town when i realised i was at the wrong venue for the test as well...

Scorpio is my first ride and I've had it for almost a year. Love it and she's been great to me! Being a smaller chick I found it really light and easy to manouvre. Great to ride in all conditions though like someone says - the thin rear tire can be a little dodgy on wet and tight corners. In saying that having dropped it on my first ride I was able to pick it up with almost one hand.

It's a great learner bike or just a reliable cheap CBD runaround for your first 2 years. Ready for something bigger and smoother though that doesn't rev so high on the motorway...

hi, im scorpio rider from indonesia.
as a 225cc bike, scorpio take the podium of "small cc" streetfighter bike in indonesia above honda tiger, or bajaj pulsar.

honestly, in indonesia we cant enter the highway/toll road. with maximum 140-150kmh, thats why an under 400cc bike is more than enough here.

for daily use, i think scorpio is more than enough. but to make a better permormance, we need to add some part/change.

without any boreup, i just change clutch spring, switching ac to dc by dding regulator, so then i can change the standard reflector to a hella 7", lowering front suspension, make some modification for arm-relay and con-rod (scorpio weakness, the suspension i think is too smooth for >70kgs rider). change the cdi to a 7way mapping cdi, iridium spark, (i dunno, my mechanic change my clutch housing or not... ), just change the muffler with a custom type, setting the mj&pj and change all the sign lamp, brake lamp, speedo lamp with LED (because i love my 7ampere accu... hoho..)

with that small changes, i (62kgs) can reach 140-150kmh easily. of course i cant side by side with a 400cc bike, but its enough to smoke kawasaki 250r... (for the first 400meters i think.... lol)

for the endure, i think ive prove it. last year i went to the westernmost point of indonesia, at sabang. i have no problem except something crack my fueltank and make an about 4mm hole (da*n) with 16 days and +-8000km, and from smooth to dirty road... this bike is tough enough.

the problem on this sx4 just the suspension (too smooth), and rpm seal problem... hiks...

i agree with the statement before, this bike is unique than other (in the same type). she capable to lanning down till the footpeg *kiss the road... you can do it easily with 70-80kpj, it still stable enough (front 100/80-18, rear 120/80-18 BT45)

so, for an under 250cc, i think this is the best bike with the power, torque and handling.

uh... waiting for yamaha super tenere come to indonesia..............

[Slyer]

I'm guessing most bikes in Indonesia would be 250cc and under?
See many 1000+cc bikes?
