Would you be able to get a recording of the noise onto YouTube or something? Have been looking at Scorpions myself for some time in 2015 probably :) Yeah, they are higher up but it makes the bike look sportier and it definitely suits it

You need to hear them in the flesh mate. Too many variables involved with recording a sound. Microphone quality, surrounding buildings, online compression etc. It would only give you a rough idea. Plenty of us on here have Scorpians (not me :biggrin ), I'm sure you will hear some on one of the ride outs. :thumbup:

We've had 125's out on ride outs before so you will be at the back of the group with them. :lol:

That's totally uncalled for, I have way more power than a 125 :lol: About 20bhp or so :P

Actually, I'll just be riding into the sound of more 'Storms.. I can deal with this :lol:
Famous last words, I'll be the one to bin it then :crazy:

Don't be so quick to disrespect the other colours eh lloydie? The world has yet to see where you fit in the pecking order after you ditched the fast blacks :P

True, but there would be plenty of bikes on the rideouts that stand out enough to go at the back :P Whether it's a different bike such as Geo's Tuono or my hornet or someone elses' something. The important thing is that the slower the bike is, the more powerful the front brake is to the engine by comparison :wink:
