very nice but I don't suppose it'll be cheap. It's effectively hand-made.

Not outrageous but still quite steep.
How much of the bike is really "new". I'm assuming (possibly incorrectly) that it is based on an old Lambretta frame modified to accept the new engine. Is the engine a brand-new Piaggio supplied item or something recycled from a write off?

Really!
I'm surprised they manage to keep the price so low if literally everything has to be manufactered from scratch. Also it presumably means that it is subject to modern safety regs and emissions laws etc unless they get around it by only making a few at a time. I note that the one in the advert hasn't got indicators. That has to be ilegal on a brand-new bike surely.

You can get new Lambretta frame and forks etc.easily enough, the engine is bought in as a unit and all the bodywork is carbon including the frame loop, so even the frame might be made in house
