^^ WOW!! simply stunning. Do they have a kit for the P200E engines? Do they have any sellers in the USA o is this strictly purchased from Germany?
It would be awesome if scooterwest in San Diego would carry this item but they have the sponsorship and biased market for Malossi.

The customers wants variety.

No 200 kit yet.

Jet 200 in the US sell BGM stuff.

As do Scooter-speed.

I'm seriously drooling over this kit right about now. Naturally, it's literally to the day that I got my Stella finally running right (air leak fixed, flytech ignition installed).

Well, no reason to hang onto my p200.

Has anyone built an all out BGM 177 kit yet?

Depends what you mean by all out. I have matched one to a PX crankcase with enlarged transfer ports (cut for a previous kit) and inlet, and used a Worb5 flowed crank (185 degrees total inlet duration). I've tried an expansion chamber (Scorpion) and a drilled 24/24e carb with venturi and suitably large jets. It puts out a lot of power, and 120km/h on the Vespa speedo happens very quickly. It'll probably go further with longer gears. This kit really does provide a lot of usable power for the money.

Mine got extremely hot and siezed after a long WOT stretch of motorway, but I am confident that it will emerge once more from my workshop after I fit a new piston this weekend. I'm also fitting a BigBox Touring at the same time as it was always intended for longer journeys, and I should never have used the Scorpion without raising the port timings.

I decided not to use a longstroke crank or bigger side-draught carb, but I think a 28mm PHBH would be a good match.

Cannot wait to get back on the scoot. It's a blast.
