beta_trials Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Is it just me or am i seeing a actual modern yahmaha trials bike in this video i found on youtube. To my eyes im seeing the yamaha symbol on the tank of the bike starting at 29 seconds in and in other later places in the video. I though yamaha has been out of the trials buisness for a long time.

nigel dabster Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just the same as montesa in japan is a honda the scorpa is a yamaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 09 was the last of the 4 stroke scorpas? I wonder how much these bikes of kuroyama and nozakis are breathed on by the yamaha factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fracy Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 All you have to do is listen to any of those videos and you have your answer.... I imagine its WAY lighter, and WAY more power too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Interesting to note the only bikes to jump from the concrete block to wall were 2 strokes. I'd forgotten just how ugly the rear guard was on the Scorpa 4 stroke, haven't seen 1 of those for a couple of years & glad that there wasn't more people with no taste who bought them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgshannon Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Interesting to note the only bikes to jump from the concrete block to wall were 2 strokes. At 2:26 a 4-stroke does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I think the 4 stroke Scorpa looks awesome, Id love one of those *******ised yamaha's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta_trials Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Here is a better picture of the bike. I just dont see why this would still be a scorpa when the frame is different to the scorpa i see off their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) The current Scorpa is a bike designed and built by Sherco. The "Yamaha" in your photo is a Scorpa from when Scorpas were made by Scorpa and powered by Yamaha motors. Have a look at this 2009 250cc four stroke Scorpa and you will see the same frame as in that photo of the "Yamaha" http://newmotorcyclebuyersguide.com/scorpa-sy250f-sy200f-sy125f.html Edited November 14, 2011 by feetupfun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 These are great bikes, I've always like Kenny's & Nozaki's bikes, They are basically a Scorpa 250f with a different exhaust, different plastics, & I would imagine that Yamaha have done some tweaks to the motor as well. In Japan they are known as the Yamaha TYS-250f. Nice Image of Nozaki's, If only you could buy one that looks like that, It looks fantastic! Hi Ben, I can't download the attachement.
