MuZ Skorpion Replica review




Unfortunately similarities between most replicas and their race track cousins often end with the name and fancy paint, while genuine component changes are minimal or even no existent. This is not the case with MuZ Skorpion Replica - although it shares its frame and motor with the Skorpion line up, similarities between it and the factory racers are common. MuZ Replica Scorpion is a limited edition machines that combines a racebikes lightning - quick handling with the undeniable charm of a big single cylinder engine. Replica Skorpion will not be common machines, and a special serial numbers tags on the triple clamps will immortalize each one.

Despite the Replica name and top - notch components, the MuZ appearance is somewhat subdued. A tasteful silver on dark gray paint scheme is a pleasant change from the day-glo spray jobs and boyracer graphics of many Japanese sport bikes. Beautifully sculpted and aerodynamic bodywork flows seductively to the solo seat tail section.

It is interesting that MuZ chose to go with longer bars in the interest of comfort on a race replica. Another race but appreciated feature of the Skorpion were adjustable footpegs that have two horizontal and two vertical settings. Despite such a range of adjustments the footpegs aren`t at all bulky, and look to be pirated off a superbike rather than an assembly line parts bin. MuZ Skorpion Replica was one of the best handling bikes we have ever tested. More specs and user manual of MuZ Skorpion Replica you can see in next overview.
