Scorpion ZX300.






Not your Hutch, Profile or Skyway but quite rare i think. Not too much resto required to be honest, original chrome and stickers.

Nice one Andy. Don't see that race gear every day either :shocked: :daumenhoch:
Does that mean your spooky man mannequin will be making an appearance at MK14?

Nice but I reckon the rarer Scorpion to have is the Scorpion Super Team model:

Beggars can't be choosers when you have the full race kit already Marty, i've never seen the super team model come up for sale so i wasn't going to pass on this 300 when it was advertised in the hope one came available within the next decade.

It's still a lot rarer than a Ripper or Skyway which was my point originally and a lot more affordable. I like the rarity of it and i'm not stupid enough to throw mega £££'s/$$$'s at a childs bike like others.

A Jamie Vince tribute is probably the way to go, although he probably ran top gear on his, i may go down the originally as it was bike straight off the shop floor but my spooky man mannequin may come out of hibernation just for Paul and Joff  :LolLolLolLol: I don't have any photo's of it from MK sadly.

I reckon they must be one of the rarest framesets around Marty.  :4_17_5: May struggle in nabbing one of them i reckon.
