Hi
Does anyone know about Scorpa Motorcycles?
Are they good quality?
How do they compare to the 'usual' Japanese brands?
Parts available easily?
Any owners out there with an opinion?

Actually, they are, they're of high enough quality that the major
American toy companies were willing to put their names on them.

Well, maybe. China's a big place--it's quite possible that there will
continue to be a range of quality levels from them for some time.
Eventually somebody over there is going to figure out that the
Japanese made a huge amount of money in the US market and maybe they
should figure out how the Japanese did it and try to do something
similar.
