I can dig that.

Recently I've been getting these strange urges over small capacity 70's and 80's trail bikes.

Mmmm, Serow with heritage

That's nice.

It's got 2 different sets of forks so it looks like it's still evolving as time goes on.

I like that apart from the front mud guard, which isn't big enough, and the cheapo headlight brackets, these can look loads better if you use a 2nd pair of them up the other way.

And like KFB I've got a thing for small 70s trail bikes, shame they're so expensive now.

I've just looked up the Scorpio 225 it's based on, looks like a YBR 125.

Thanks for finding this one,I like that,lots
Another vote for the 70's trail bikes,II like the styling on trail bikes of that era.I think the Yamaha TT500 ally fuel tank is one of the best looking fuel tanks ever made.
Scorpio 225? I was wondering what it's based on,thanks for clearing that up,I didn't realise Yamaha made a twin shock 225.
If only they used the MT07 motor in a similar styled bike,I'd be straight down tothe local Yamaha shop..

I like it.
These type of bikes come from an era when motorcycling was much better, the volume of bikes was much higher and they were much more popular, pretty much everyone back then had a bike as a youngster, whereas now it's a niche thing.

That looks properly useable, would look best slightly crashed and muddy
