vinnied Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Interesting Ben r, i have an 175 on order due in next week thanks for pics Vinnie Edited September 30, 2004 by Vinnied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john b Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Will be intersted on the performance of the 175. I dont feel my 125 is underpowered (for me anyway), but you always want that bit more ! Has anyone tried the 143cc kit from the states - is there much difference? just it seems good value at $300. Not sure on the silver frame for 05 mind.............. But it still looks class ! John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 4T have still got that bloody ugly rear mud guard though! Why not fit an SY one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john b Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Using negative publicity positively ?? Everyone knows the 125 4T because of the ugly rear mudguard. Change it, and no-one talks about it ! Hey - I'm just off for a job in Marketing !!! Anyway, imaginative use of Blue and Black thick decal sheet and the odd Yamaha sticker and it suddenly becomes a thing of beauty ! - honest..... John.

dgshannon Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) Interesting thing... If you look at the latest TodoTrial posting on the 4T, and send it through the Spanish to English interpreter, you can pick up on their comments about the rear fender, down near the end of the article. While the language conversion is rough, you can gleen that they like the rear fender in that it is unique and adds an "aggressive" touch. Sort of like we would say that something looks like it is moving, even when it is standing still. I have to admit that the rear fender is my least favorite aspect of the bike. If you look at the Scorpa.fr website, and check the accessories catalog, you will see an optional "competition" fender for the 4T. The angle of the picture makes it tough to tell much about it, but the verbal information I was able to get my hands on reports that the bend and curvature of the edges is defferent than previously offered. While it is still not the SY250 fender, it is supposedly a more attractive piece than the original. We will have to wait and see what the SY175 actually shows up with.

Doesn't the photo of new Scorpas lined up outside the Scorpa factory posted by Ben R in this string show the latest SY175 including the rear mudguard?

ben_r Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Nah - those lined up are sy125's, but the 175's will look the same except with an sy175 sticker on the guard. I'll find a photo I got from intermot of the 175 and post it in the next day or so. cheers, ben_r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find no mention of it on the Scorpa website? the last I heard one was tried in The 04SSDT but broke down!. They will sell you a 150cc big bore kit but no mention of a 175!

marky g Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 How come there calling it a 175 then?? Thinking about it wasn't a few of the early Fantics always called somthing they were not ie; 300 = 250cc? I wonder if there using the 150 kit you can buy from the States?
