kdub Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi guys looking for a bit of advice. I am looking just now at both a 2001 and a 2005 SY 250's and was just wondering how much difference is there performance wise between these. This will be my first trials m/c. I am not a novice in terms of riding a motorcycle (19 years of mx) and have done some mountain bike trials over the past 6 or 7 winters. Just wondering would I feel the difference and is there any mechanical reason ie better suspension that I should get the newer machine. Cheers Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phb Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 2001 bike was first of the SY models and there has been lots of changes from this to 05 spec, certainly much better suspension and a few engine tweaks, looks wise there is not much changed other than colours, 05 much better choice, others on site will have better idea of changes made model to model, but if you want a bike which needs very little attention and is easy to work on then Scorpa's a good choice.

scorpa3 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I had a 2002 SY then a new 2005 SY. The performance and handling of the two is almost identical. Buy by condition. A well looked after '01 might be a better bet than a rough 2005! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efi64 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wow ! Yesterday I rode a 4RT. There is a very big difference between it's suspension and the suspension on my old Scorpa Easy !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wow !Yesterday I rode a 4RT. There is a very big difference between it's suspension and the suspension on my old Scorpa Easy !! Ten years further on is a big difference. Plus the 4rt is know for having good suspension anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully in 2008 I'll upgrade by a decade to a 4-stroke Scorpa ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
