That works out to about 385.00 USD...hopefully actual prices will be closer to what the Scorpion re-re sold for. :) Interesting...will they include both belt & chain diffs together? Funky...

Are the wheels the same size as the original? Looking at the pic , it appears so but hard to tell. I was hoping for a modern standard size in the same design.
