How much better would one of these be compared to a Polini, a lot or not enough to warrant a purchase?.....Also is there any Scoots it wont fit in the Smallframe world?, Cheers, Mark.

It is an expansion pipe, and works well with pretty standard set ups. As I understand, this particular one works well at bottom to mid range. Also, apparently is not as noisy as the previous model.  Will fit any vespa smallframe models. |

I'd be interested to see how the power and torque figures compare between the down & forward and this one. I can't imagine they'd be that different, but we'll see. As for noise, that was the one thing that turned me off the original is the noise. I hate having a scooter you have to shout over when it's idling. By the way, had a look at Simonini's catalogue to find the figure of €164, which works out to be a shade below £150 on here. |

Yeah yeah, cheers Will. Mine's a 75, actually. ;D You should hear those eBay Sitos... I got one before I acquired any knowledge of what's hot and what's not on a scooter. They sound like a chainsaw running next to a megaphone, they're awful!  |

it doesnt matter how loud it is, if you want something to listen to buy a stereo, or just get a grip, ffs a decent helmet will do the job and not the one you keep permanantly in your hand, think of the neighbours that always helps

Although I can appreciate that, Jonny, if I don't like the sound of my own scooter, I don't like the sound of my own scooter so I'd like to do something to change it! ;D And our neighbours were making thinly veiled threats at us for various things due to, amongst other things, "excessive noise." |

The difference between that and the old one is that now you'll be grinding it on left corners instead of right ;D

Fuck 'em indeed... I'm happy with the Polini snail I have at the moment, so there we go. Besides, Mum's Bandit 1250 is louder than the Spesh. |
