I want this guy's scooter..is he shifting gears?!?!?
So this dude on a crazy fast scooter gets a fly-by from a *ick on a street bike. What he does in return is priceless....
Looks like hes shifting with the left brake handle...hmmm..NEXT MOD!

I need to find some new haters...the ones I have are starting to like me.
Re: I want this guy's scooter..is he shifting gears?!?!?
The shifting of scooter transmissions has been done this way on Vespas ever since they were first made, and still is on some models. Even the Genuine Stella has the same shifting. NOT a MOD...it is factory OEM....and personally, I absolutely hate it.

Re: I want this guy's scooter..is he shifting gears?!?!?
I thought it was a funny video but...ok then
Ive never had or ridden a Vespa so I wouldn't know about them. Just different Hondas, Yamahas and a handful of Taotao Chinese stuff. They've all been auto shift. I even used to have a Honda FatCat years ago that you had to shift but was automatic on the take-offs.

That is one pretty savage scooter!!
Re: I want this guy's scooter..is he shifting gears?!?!?
You may be right ive seen quiet a few build threads over my time and some in other languages, if it is indeed a 200 modle it probably has the mallossi 219?cc kit. On probably stock gears and with the polini under belly pipe. Thats a setup ive seen a few times.birdman wrote:That looks like a Vespa P200... I could be wrong

Re: I want this guy's scooter..is he shifting gears?!?!?
I wouldnt mind doing something with a PX150 someday but dang they are pricey. Beat up ones are pretty few and far between too. I've seen that Vespa have released some limited edition 75th anniversary PX's that are up around the $7000 mark. Used ones in ok condition go for about $2500 - $3000... Think of the Honda you could build for that mula!!MrJumps wrote:

Re: I want this guy's scooter..is he shifting gears?!?!?
I've seen this video before, and other vespas w that twist-shift deal and it seems like it would be incredibly hard to get right.motormike wrote:The shifting of scooter transmissions has been done this way on Vespas ever since they were first made, and still is on some models.
