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

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.

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..

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