i really don't like this as a corruption of a great classic/ vintage design but i find that its so refreshing that people are willing to attempt to reconstruct a basic GP into an inovative machine. it just looks fast, i would be scared stiff to face this at the traffic light grand prix if i saw it.taking an old moped and making it look like a bronze shark with an attitude problem is the reason absolutely scooters has been in business for so long. scoots built like this are going to get the new generation of scooterists interested.so i don't like it but i love it ,weirdly.

I expect it's a flip up choke and looks in one picture as though the petrol lever is direct off the tap and possibly can be turned on with the panel on as they're not full panels
I've seen this while it was getting built but not seen it finished,as usual another top quality creation from Absolutely Scooters

It's the stuff that you can't see straight away that make this stand out.
Extended at the lower edge of the loop to incorporate the mudflap,no bridge piece,one piece horncast and grille,tool box welded to legshields,rear hugger mudguard that fastens to bump stop and rear shock mount,frenched in rear light,tube from front lower edge of loop that the gear and clutch cables go through etc etc.
Excellent as always

Oh I nearly forgot
The lack of a locking washer and grub screw on the rear hub
