Today, I own two scooters, but I use mainly the Vespa PX 200!
This Vespa PX200 is my actual scooter (my second Vespa 200). It seems that model is part of the last couple of 200cc produced by Piaggio during 2002. Now, because of EEC regulations, there is no more 2 strokes 200cc. The 125cc still produced.
I own this Lambretta from 1987, its officially a Lambretta 125 special from the middle of the 60's. But in fact, its a contemporary Spanish version, called Serveta, produced roughly during the 80's. I just changed all the new parts to the original ones. The cylinder is switched with a 175 and the carburator is upgraded too, all of the motor spares came from a specialized Lambretta shop (canŐt recall the name?) in the middle of England dating back 1987. I stopped to use it in 1989, when I managed to rebuilt my previous Vespa called Otis Blue who crashed into an accident because of bad car driver.
This is my best scooter, the one with that I visited various place in Europe, from France, to Spain, Italy and England. The scooter, called Otis Bluse started is life in 1984 and finished is life in 1987 because of a bad car driver who crashed me, hugh. Otis Blue win several custom show prizes during some scooters rallies. The motor was optimized by Michel Chevalier, a previous specialized motor customization during the 70's who have some of his cars who win the famous Monte-Carlo prix. Otis Blue was probably the faster 200cc at the time in France. The images who follow are extracted from a French magazine called Nitro who cover in general customised cars and motorbikes.
It's probably the only article onn this particular subject.
Before that, I owned a vespa GT 125 and various small 50, 70 and 125 models (no pictures available).
