2002 Malaguti yesterday
So I see the 2002 Malaguti yesterday on CL for sale. These scoots worth a scoot? Seller claims 50 MPH, but the scoot is not running, seller claims a carb problem. Should I waste my time? For the record, asking price is $500. I have never heard of these scooters, but I vaguely recall reading somewhere about these engines being used for racing?
Re: 2002 Malaguti yesterday
it's worth to go take a look what model is it... Jog/Minarelli style motors have a abundance of parts but cost a lot more and are mostly made in Europe all high quality stuff...
these bikes go fast with minimal effort but maximum pocket drainage

The model is "yesterday"
These are vertical minareli clones?

Well, unfortunately, someone luckier than me scooped it up. Bummer for me.

I am a Honda guy but I picked up a Malaguti Yesterday the other day not Yesterday but it is a Yesterday .
At first I really didn't like it and when I started working on it every 5 min. I would say these stupid Italians
what were they thinking ?
I was so use to Honda's it was so different working on an Italian scoot it took me 5 min. to find the battery
(it is in the front on a tray that slides out really weird ) to get to the carb you need baby hands .
Anyway after I got over the frustration I started getting into the scoot more and more Yes it's a pig weighs a ton
I was so * the first time I took the plastics off but I've done it so many times I have it down to less than 5 min. and thats going slow .
Oh almost forgot the Italians 1 size allen key here a different size here philips screw here 10mm wrench there it took a while to get used to .
Anyway here are some photos ...

I own the same scoot, they're definitely heavy. Not a bad bike but not as fun as the elites.
