I had the chance to ride the Scorpa 300 side by side with the Sherco 300 and fell in love with the Scorpa!
The Scorpa feels and rides much like my SY 250, but with a lot off more power, it climbs a small hazard almost out off it's own, just give it abit off stick!
While the Sherco is realy nervous, the same engine, only the CDI unit is different.
The whole bike feels different also!
I don't feel comfy on the Sherco, for me it feels unstable and doesn't give a good sense for the steering.
While the Scorpa feels good and stable and wants to go around corners the moment you think about it.
The balance is even better than that off the old SY.
You could have a cup off coffee while standing on the bike!
I would like to see a simple bike that is afordable and no exotic materials.
An engine like the Yamaha TYZ as it was used in the Scorpa SY, but maybe with 300 or 350 cc, so it has even more grunt way down below.
For club events you don't need a lot off top end power like in modern bikes, i would like a tractor on two weehls!
My ideal bike should be able to start out off a realy tight corner just on the clutch no throttle needed!
For the frame, take a good look at Ossa, it is stable and steers like crazy!
Maybe use a system off building blocks.
Buy a basic frame, choose your suspension(simple or up to date/fancy stuff), choose your engine (80 to 350 cc), choose the engine caracteristics(flywheels etc.), lights or not, trick bits or not.
Like this you could build the bike oyu would like to own.
I like to ride in the fall in winter seasons but have a mild form off artritis, so it is important for me to keep warm.
Recently i've bought myself a pair off Kenny bagy trousers, i think it is called the Evasion model, and a Max equipe shirt, Wulffsport, over this i am using a Jitsie jacket.
This combo is warm enough for the body as long as it stays dry, thats why impragnate it regularly with a fabric sealant.
The problem is keeping my hands warm and dry and the feet warm, boots can be sealed with leather compound.
Has anyone a tip for a pair off gloves that can be made waterproof and can keep the hands warm enough during a day off riding and waiting for a section?
I already tried normal motorcycle gloves, but they don't have enough grip and the Jitsie gloves i use during the summer are to cold in the winter time and they aren't waterproof.
Congrats with your 305, i am also the proud owner off a 305, absolutly love it.
As a gearbox oil i use a classic sae 80 oil, semi synthetic and fill her up to about 3/4 off the sight glass, don't know the precise amount because i don't mesure it.
The most important tips i can give is, use a good and warm sparkplug, i use a grade 5 from NGK, no fancy stuff, because a warmer plug she eats as breakfast!
Second get her ready and enjoy the time you spent together.
The first few rides she will feel like quite a handfull, but once you get used to it she will like everything you throw at her.
