Aye up scoot fans.. this might be what you call a right little pocket rocket… with our rare and unique Italjet which is a new take on the 95 Dragster 2 stroke jobbie with this 4 stroke 200cc premium scoot finished in anthracite and yellow with LED’s throughout and some top upgrades.

Launched back in 2019 at the EICMA show in Milan, this 2022 model has just delivery miles on it and its been fettled with the first PM tuning products so it’s very well spec’d up and sounds fantastic through its tech exhaust.

Here as few of the mods;

Full Pm tuning stainless steel x tech exhaust with 2 stroke style rear muffler

Pm Tuning fuel injection module

Pm Tuning billet variator kit

Stage 4 sports air filter kit

Pm Tuning cnc adjustable leavers

Pm tuning rear tail tidy kit with minimalistic led indicators

Full in house dyno setup

The standard 14bhp has been increased to 18hp and its got a fistful of torque when you get on throttle and it looks fantastic with its Trellis frame in chrome molybdenum, single hydro-pneumatic adjustable rear shock absorber, Brembo rear brake Calliper and 190mm disc with ABS, up front its running a Brembo Calliper and 200mm disc with ABS and I.S.S. single-arm and hydro-pneumatic adjustable shock absorber

Bah! I liked that and then immediately went to the Dragster website to see how much I could get a 200cc two-stroke Dragster scooter for.
And it's a four stroke pretending to be a two stroke.

I just watched a Youtube review and it does look good, but at five and a half large you're well into Fantic Caballero 500 money and I'd probably prefer one of those. I'll have a punt at winning one, but if I was spending that sort of money I'd probably get the 500, or something else - although saying that, it would make a decent commuter if I worked in the UK and had a shortish run, an automatic scooter is attractive for that.

Is you in, or is you aint? :D

1984 Honda C70 – Custom Super Cub 140cc

Wahey …. time for a right little pocket rocket with our C70 Custom Super Cub… and it’s just a little bit cheeky!

Where do we start with this little beasty, firstly this is registered as a 69cc and is fitted with a whopping Parker Racing 140cc 4 stroke engine with four speed box. The frame is a Cub style with rust painted style along with swingarm and forks which has this amazing finish and easily a show contender. Uprated wheels fitted with Raleigh chopper vintage tyres and a huge heap of receipts for custom parts, this build fresh with only a few miles on the clock and is ready for one of our lucky badgers to win shortly so keep watching those draws peeps!

Its been upgraded with loads of bits from uprated flywheel, Upswept stainless exhaust , custom made seat, CNC brake pedal, Kepspeed upgrades including alloy top nut, CNC handlebar mount, Heavy duty chain, all new links and cables. It’s MOT’d for daytime and the perfect little accessory for your camper or VW for nipping to the shops at lunchtime, it gets loads of attention and makes quite a bark for something so small

Umbrellas plus 6 litre engine. The only other vehicle i can think of which has that combo is a R-R.

I like the sound of chairs which accommodate you when you sit on them too.

It'd be no good for me. It seats a minimum of 10 and there's only 2 of us. :(

It's nice to know that the large shower is large and there's a draw with the wardrobe....must have magnetic hinges. :thumbup:

I'll keep an eye on that one, being so big it may put a lot of people off bidding. So they may be optimistic selling 99999 tickets?

No, I've no vested interest in any of these sites. I was lucky enough to win a JCW Mini Cooper Sd on revcomps though. There's a couple of other winners on here too.
