Hi guys!

My name is Jose, and I write from Córdoba, Spain. I had a classic Vespa for 5 months, PK 75 S of the year 1983 (attach. photo).

I have registered in this forum to share my passion for vespa, and learn something of its mechanics, because at the moment ... I know little about this xD

I hope I can also help when I can!

Greetings to all!

Hi Jose and welcome to NSM! I don't generally like PK's but that is nice... I like the artwork on the side panel too.

Thanks! The Design of the side panel has been designed by myself!

Hello José.
We don't see too many PKs here, but yours is a nice looking bike.

Welcome.

Hi and welcome. A good combination of art work, patina and colour without overdoing it.
Is the PK like a more modern smallframe motor wise?

Currently the bike has chassis and engine series.

A rectification was made in the cylinder of the motorcycle. I have also put the dellorto 19 / 19E carburetor, change of seals, reinforced clutch ...

I have used spare parts of the series, it has (at the moment) nothing of Olympia, Polini ... etc.

I'm very happy with it, it reaches top speed of 75-80km / h (47-50 mph), and can maintain a cruising speed between 65-70km / h (40-44 mph). The only thing I miss is more strength when I drive uphill. I think I'll end up riding an Olympia 130cc without changing the developments.

I do not look for high speeds because I like to make routes through the mountains, many curves and few lines xD

Regards!

Nice bike Jose, welcome to the forum. There's a thread made just for you here: PK love page , and you should post up more pics there.

I am curious, what is that half round hoop thing under the front of your seat? Maybe some kind of lock?

Yes! It's a lock. I attach an image even if it is not from my scooter. Is the same.
