Julian, do you want me to do yours? You can ride mine first after I've converted it to help you make your mind up! You won't be disappointed, they go like bloody hell! Totally different to the standard bike. You get a real punch in the back when you twist that grip. It's like a two stroke coming on to pipe with a sudden surge of power. :o
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'! :lol:

About to upgrade my GTV SG 300, going very mild with a Polini 'Hi Speed' Variator, kevlar belt, Polini 'Racing' clutch & clutch bell. Hopefully a bit more responsive & no flat spots.

The Polini gets good results. Let us know how you get on.

Will you be getting maybe a 250/300 to replace it with?

"The single camshaft distribution system with roller tappets gains a camshaft with optimised timing and valve lift speeds"

So why didn't they bother optimising the timing and valve lift speeds on previous models then? Presumably they were rubbish.
Too busy quaffing vino on their 2 hour lunch breaks, I guess. :)

So, as it is now optimised, it is by definition impossible to do it better, so there will never be any more 'optimised' or 'improved' versions. You cannot improve on what is optimised - - - or is it just 'optimistic'?

Piaggio vino Quaffers have been making scooters since 1946 so must be doing something right .
