As said mate,its a sound scoot for using. And with the accessories on it,i think it makes the scoot more authentic looking. Ps ditch that scooter boy exhaust pronto..LOL.....:-)

Its my daily ride at the moment John although as I say it ahem needs a few bits tweaking here and there.

 

Im thinking od maybe taking all the crap off it that you see there and bringing it back to being standard but cant make my mind up on the colour whether to just refresh the colour it is which is quite nice but shabby or whether to go original Orange as yours or maybe White or even Gun Metal grey with pearlesant maybe hehe.

 

Apart from the front brake being pretty non existant and the electrics being dodgy its nice and straight though and for what I paid not bad at all.

 

Long way fromm your at the moment though mate

Nice,square scooter mate,whats your plans for it carl! Full refurb or ride as is?   JP

Heres a couple of pics as it is now JP.  Its a bit tatty so shes gonna have a full respray and Im sticking my Mk1 T5 engine in instead of the P150 thats in at the moment for more reliability.

 

As far as I can see its definately 1971 GTR, and has been on the log book since 1990 when it was imported from Italy.
