Scorpion questions

[Andy in Sig]

I've got the Street Machine and recommend it without hesitation. It's not the lightest thing around but it will certainly meet your speed requirements. And it also has the big advantage that if you ever want to do some full blown touring, it is designed exactly for that.

Lightest isn't always best, especially if you need to carry any sort of weight. Rather have something a little heavier that can cope easily than making something fit what I require, but not designed for.

Lol. Welcome Foggy. TBH, if DavidWalton was planning to buy one next year, and next year was actually last year, chances are he's either bought, or not spending.
Annoyingly, the slide against the Euro means these things rocketed in price recently.

Glad to hear you're getting on well with the Scorpion though. Looks to be a lovely piece of kit, and I love my SMGTe. Very envious of your locale though. Nice and flat out there. My legs + spending habits + Kent dictate a lighter steed.
