I found the cooling system to be the weakest link, especially if I had to pull a few long uphills to get where I wanted to ride. The six speed tranny on the Scorpa is more trail friendly than the five speed Montesa, although it did not help with the cooling woes.

I had an O5 SY250 for awhile, nice bike no problems. I purchased the long ride kit as well, the fit and finish sucked, beyond reason, with mine.

I'm almost certain this is the man and his bike that I meet in Sacramento, Ca a few years back, or so. He was in Old Town Sac with a map of his trip on a store front window, talking with people and collecting donations. My condolences.
