eddie_lejeune Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Is that Nozaki in the pics on the front page riding a 2 stroke yamaha which is one of the new scorpas in yamaha livery. Is this a one off or yamahas return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_t Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I noticed "Yamaha" besides some of the riders names in the results and wondered about that... thanks for the clarification. It sure would be nice if Yamaha did throw some weight back into the sport the way that Honda is taking a more active role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldilocks Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 If Yamaha and Scorpa thought so it would be surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 If Yamaha and Scorpa thought so it would be surely? not as straight forward as that I'm sure? I don't think Kuroyama can develop the 2008 4 stroke scorpa much more and I think thats why ogawa is beating him now. Interesting to see if they do something different for Japan or else pull out.

feetupfun Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Bet it would sell more badged as a Yamaha than badged as a scorpa When Scorpas started coming out with the Yamaha 250 two stroke motor, I went to my local Yamaha shop and told them I would like to buy one from them but it had to come badged as a Yamaha like the one I had seen photos of in Japan - so I didn't get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
