MuZ Skorpion Traveler 660
Traveler check
In the form of the Traveler, the MuZ Skorpion is aiming for a career as a porter and a kilometer eater.
In terms of price, the MuZ Skorpion Traveler is a kind of last-minute offer among the travel machines: for 12,762 marks it transports two people in the protection of a full fairing, and luggage storage is also provided. Sounds very promising.
No catch? But: Although the Skorpion Traveler is able to transport around 200 kilograms from A to B, the feeling of relaxed, carefree travel falls by the wayside. One advantage of the Skorpion models – their compact stature – is a disadvantage for the traveler. If the traveling soloist can still sit comfortably on the narrow bench behind the filigree tank, the man behind has bad permanent cards because of the living space: the seat is too short, the space between the suitcases and the pilot’s legs is too narrow. As narrow as the core of the Traveler, their shell is trimmed.

MuZ Skorpion Traveler 660
Traveler check
Scorpio Traveler on clear rejection.
Only when you apply the term »Tourer« to the engine and hold the needle of the tour counter as close as possible to the red area does the Traveler find its true calling, its sporting roots. The engine hangs neatly on the gas, without annoying vibrations it romps lively in the upper half of the speed and ensures lively acceleration. Even in fifth gear things progress dynamically because the final gear ratio has been kept so tight that the engine revs up at top speed and even significantly exceeds the rated speed on downhill stretches.
Cruising speeds of around 160 km / h are popular because the traveller’s directional stability is impeccable: whether her drainage grooves or bridge edges get under her wheels, she doesn‘t deviate from course.
Away from the highways, the Traveler cuts a fine figure. The machine can be precisely circled through combinations of curves, quick changes in lean angle are effortless, the suspension elements sensitively swallow small and large bumps in the roadway. Even the front disc brake – not always a fame of the scorpions in the past – promotes sporting activity with a firm pressure point and a strong bite. Conclusion: The Traveler is a lively machine with good manners that has its difficulties with its role as a tourer.

If the traveling soloist can still sit comfortably on the narrow bench behind the filigree tank, the man behind has bad permanent cards because of the living space: the seat is too short, the space between the suitcases and the pilot’s legs is too narrow. The shell is cut as narrow as the core of the Traveler. It offers little more slipstream than a fully packed tank bag, exposing shoulders, arms and legs to the elements without protection. On the other hand: Even travelers get tangled up in the hustle and bustle of traffic from time to time, and it pays off that the Traveler is basically on the move with his elbows on. Where stout “super tourers” lack the courage to leave gaps, the Traveler shows itself to be a real niche motorcycle and paves its way to freedom with a hook.
The striking proof that a single-cylinder engine, no matter how modern it is, is only suitable to a limited extent for tourist purposes, is provided by the traveler (alias: Yamaha) single with a tourist, i.e. low-speed, pace. With a constant throttle position in fifth gear, chugging at 80 things, the five-valve engine just lets go. But when something like acceleration is demanded of it by turning the right hand, the 660 shakes like a wet dog. No, loitering, laziness at the gearshift and shy of revs, which other travel machines tolerate, if not even encourage, are clearly rejected by the Skorpion Traveler.
