Vespa PK50

Discussion in 'Show Us Your Bit On The Side' started by Purple, Jul 7, 2023.

  1. Bought it earlier this year, PK50 with a 135 kit and Dellorto 24mm and sito expansion pipe. Bit of a comedy mod look about it, so stripped off the garish colours, mod stickers and bling. The candy red edging hid a mountain of filler on the floor edges - probably from the scooter being dropped and slid along. Retro Yankee seat fitted, more comfortable than that thin bit of foam. Mudguard was also damaged from a similar/same slide, so been given the matt black treatment..... possibly more matt black to follow..........

    Just needs an Egig 170...
    Or maybe a Quattrini. The trouble with the Quattrini is that you'd have to leave your gloves at home and possibly wear shorts:shock:

    Nuts aren't they
    There's a vid on the tube of a lad on an Egig and the performance in third is just nuts. OK its not big bike power but that's not the point. Just so much fun.

    Mate of mine has a Lambretta small frame Vega with a small vespa engine grafted in running 135 Malossi.
    It goes like stink. The Dickster and I met up with him at Euro Lambretta in Lincoln last weekend.

    Kermit!

    My first road legal scooter was a PK50. It had a PX166 lump in it, extended forks and bike tank
