Serious question..
Andy, I once asked for a kit for a friend of mine at a smallframe forum in Italy. My friend had a vespa 50 and he wanted to take it up a little but not to the extreme.

Well.. how surprised I was to know that aparently the vespa 50 in Italy (that applies to all the ranges of vespa 50's ever made) had about 15 or so different options with a never ending medley of odd cubic measures.... e.g: 60, 70, 72, 75, 80, 88, 100, 105, 110, 112, 115, 125, 140, 144

I made these figures up, but I swear they gave me about fifteen different figures in cubic centimeters for different kits in the market that could be bought cheap as chips.

Best,

J.
Jiame is right about Vespa kits there are loads available. To be fair no big company would ever think of making a lammy kit-why would they?
There were 3million pxs made + LMLs-that equals a market. AF have to get the best selling Lammy kit of all time squeezed in when they can at Guillardoni and then only under duress.

I was wondering how I missed this thread......then I looked at the first date....
I suppose the bigger dealers factor in the knock on effect, new exhausts, carbs etc etc ...all part of expanding/developing the business..
