I think they're all 2 stroke. But then, I've had a stroke.

Nah.  The GTV and GTS at least are 4-stroke/4-valve.

I'd like get a vintage scooter someday.  Maybe not as my main ride but something fun to play with now and then. 

There is a guy in town that does beautiful restoration work on vintage 1940,50,60 scooters.  I bet those aren't cheap.

I truely love my GTV, but if I was doing it again, I'd be very tempted to go for the Sei Giorni instead:

We used to buy old vespas and lambrettas for £50  :)

Just sold a 1956 dayton albatross scooter

 New GTS is coming out as 500cc

New vespas are fuel injection abs/traction control.

My lambretta is 180cc nicosil barrel, 28 mil carb, electronic ignition and expansion exhaust.

It snaps tapers on cranks :rofl

500cc?  Uhhh oh.  Hmmm.  Nope.  Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.  :bhead

For the kind of riding I do, 300cc is enough.  80mph is just fine for me.  Anything more that that could lead to trouble.  :police:

Vespas used to be trendy, here on campus back in the day. You might still see one occasionally. Now it's more the pocket/mini ninja:

(ok - this image is just a bit extreme - but not by too much)



Do those run on AA batteries or a 9 volt

300 cc does 90mph, think 500 is for touring.

There are no wrong answers.  Pick what floats your boat, and roll.

Standard SX lambretta with ported engine etc


People who do that sort of thing with lambrettas cannot even change a spark plug.
