Better than the modern scoots that sound like hair dryers, any plans on this , or just ride ride and ride? |

Currently:
112 malossi cylinder kit, polini pipe, up-geared to suit, 19/19 carb and a vespatronic ignition.
Runs decent and pulls half well but int quick enough for me.
So gonna raise the exhaust ports and open the inlet pad abit more to increase the amount of fuel which should make it quicker.
Currently saving for another scoot for summer, so when i get another one to ride about on this will probs be, repainted and a much bigger cylinder kit on and other stuff to make it top 75mph.
We'll see what money brings ahaha.

Hm, it will be next year when i do my work on it but i'm sure you'll be here when i do.
The large frame engines for vespas like your px150 aren't as good for tuning really.
With smallframes theres endless things to do to them, therefore they can go so fast!
I couldn't go into all the in's and outs as i only know so much.
A nicely tuned smallframe will top 80mph, and some can even top over 100.
Although, some can kick out like 23+bhp and be used daily as a tourer. it's mental.
Yeah 23bhp dunt sound to fast, but when the scoot alone weights 60-70kg you fly in my opinion!
