I keep scratching my head when I look at my sport and just wonder how many of these bikes are still around in England?? Just picked up a copy of practical sports bike I think it's called, out now and there is a good write up of big single sports bikes. It's good reading tackle on Gilera 500, bimoto single and szr but NO MuZ!! What a shame!!

You know why?
I`ll tell you why, biking media snobbery that`s why.
Those feckers trashed the MuZ`s reputation, it affected sales, the factory closed, the longest running motorcycle manufacturer ignored and ridiculed to death.
I get my own back while out on my Skorp leaving much of the plastic Japanese stuff behind and more exotic marquees the biking media love to fill our heads with too.
The Skorpion especially is a very fine bike (with some faults) and I`ve owned plenty of makes in my now over 40 years riding bikes.

Yes mincehead what you say is right. Have you read a book called stealing speed? It's pretty much about kaaden and the full story of mz and it's changes. Proper good reading
