Yep, that's a stunner. I'd happily have that as my Sunday best.

No wonder Innocenti pulled the plug in '71. With the SS already out and Rally 200 due in '72 they knew they could not better them.

I've never been one for taking photo's personally so can't really share. Thought I might've found my old Jade P2 over on SBW but can't find the gallery now. Good chance Oz has saved it though, he's dead sad that way saving stuff for future piss-taking and contradiction.

Could this be the one? Pictured during strip to retrieve tickover screw spring from the transfer ports, after it dropped into carb at full throttle.

Bought this bike in 1985 as a PX125E, fitted Polini 220 out of my smashed up bike, was used/abused through the lean scootering years of the early 90's. Fast forward to 2001 and decided to give it some TLC. With the Vespa/Lamebwetta battle in full swing with in our club, I was told "what ever you do to a P Range , it'll never be as good as a TS1" It just so happened I had a TS1 barrel kicking around. Took a couple of years to get round to finishing bike.

Got hold of this in lieu of a debt about 3 years ago. MotoVespa 75 Primavera. Had 125 top end and since found out Autisa crank. Was using it as base for sprinter, but got another frame for that so will be (eventually) made into a nice little roadie...with a carb to fill the hole!!

much admiration for the ts1 build. I also love the look of that sprinter with the shock shortened?? how easy is it to do that?

Its a std length shock, so still have travel, but I've moved the top mount up.

The Primmy I have now is only my third scooter in just over 20 years, I've been an intermittent scooterist unfortunately. When I was younger none of my mates were interested in getting a scooter (see also starting a band) so was a lone scooterist too. This was my first, a PK50 which I got in 1993 from Chiselspeed in Leeds. Then in 98 I got this P125X from guy in Kent when I lived in London

Single speed. No cush drive. Centrifugal clutch fully locks in aboit 30mph, exhaust valve opens about 60mph, then all hell is let loose! Current gearing is 8.1mph per 1000 revs. Engine is 12kg. Holding it with my wanking arm, so no problem.
