Celebrating my mother in law’s 75th this weekend, which means an overnight trip to Oakland. She is a very sweet lady, but I am not fond of a couple of my wife’s sisters, and I’d rather be home working on the Vespa. Parts are on the way to replace the front brake rotor and put new shoes on the rear drum. I am going to keep wrenching on this Vespa so I can get better at it and start tackling my own repairs on the Sunchaser.
Here is a really nice ET4. Do you like this clean look better than my ratty. scratched and dented, concert-sticker covered look? Be honest.
I have been eyeballing a Mallossi cylinder kit that would take me from 150cc to 190cc, and they claim pretty significant increase in hp, torque, and top end speed.
What do you think Oppo?
Good idea, too ambitious for me, or just plain dumb?
I am not sure what I am trying to accomplish with the Vespa other than having fun making it mine.

Clean all the things. Decals, badges, emblems etc... clutter up the lines of any vehicle. Let the scooter speak for its self. $0.02
Big bores are great on everything. Just make sure that no carb/intake work needs to be completed to get the benefits of the big bore. If it can’t breathe in enough air and fuel the extra CC’s won’t matter.

I actually like both. If you were still on college then keep the grunge look. If you are over 25 then clean it up and go Martini livery.
If it does not tax the budget or any relationship then big bore. My wife thinks I am a big bore when I talk about anything vehicular. So there you go.

I like the ratty look.
I would wait until your motor needs a freshening for a big-bore kit.
