In 1994, the German company MZ rose from its ashes taking advantage of the popularity that single-cylinder road frames were having at that time. For this he developed two variants derived from the same model: Skorpion 660 Sport and 660 Tour. In both cases we were looking at a motorcycle that stood out, above anything else, for its marked simplicity and good level of efficiency.
At that time, MZ would resort to the services of an English technical study for the development of the cycle part, Seymour Powellwhile the mechanics were adopted from a trail icon of the moment, the Yamaha XT660 (the same one that would later be used by SZR660).
Returning to its chassis; This stood out mainly for having welded parts and others glued with aeronautical adhesives. Attached to it was a conventional front fork and a Bilstein rear shock, in the suspensions section. Braking was carried out by separate discs activated by Grimeca tweezersone per axle, anchored in a pair of 17” wheels.
