Has anyone fitted the piaggio beverly 500cc engine in a gt/gts.it seems to have the same engine mount to bodywork as gt/gts, whereas the mp3 is different I believe..
Problem is that they seem to be only available in Europe, unless I'm looking in wrong places
The early model runs on a carburettor which I assume makes the swap bit easier

Hi german gts,I saw that video few weeks ago, If I remember correctly didn't he have to make new engine mount and fart arse about with fuel injection..the early beverly 250 and 500 from what I've read are carburettor making for an easier conversion ..the engine mounts I've seen for sale on ebay for sale look very similar to the gt/gts one's,again making for easier conversion

7,000 euros plus the KTM parts... Certainly cool if it still runs for a long time, but the price, I'm out of there.
