Motorrad und Zweiradwerk was an East German motorcycle manufacturer located in Zschopau, Saxony better known as MZ. Established early in the last century and at the forefront of two stroke development in the 1950s, by the communist era they typified solid reliable Iron Curtain transport. After the fall of the Berlin Wall MZ continued to produce bikes, very often using bought in engines and components from around the world. The Skorpion was the result of an international collaboration, with British design firm Seymour Powell. The engine, electrics and switches came from the Yamaha SZR660, with Italian Grimeca parts including brakes, forks and rear suspension. Skorpions were well-specified as standard, with adjustable bars and footpegs, alloy wheels, stainless steel silencer, rear hugger fender, and braided brake lines.
This New Scorpion Tour 660, being offered at no reserve, was part of a large franchised dealers stock who upon closure in 2000 took everything home and mothballed them in his house and barn. The bike has not been run and is how it would have been when taken out of its packing case all those years ago and displayed in the shop awaiting sale. This time warp machine has never been run, used or registered and comes supplied with its original DVLA V55/3 form.
