Modern Vespa

I just saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub_etVgU4aI of a Aprilia Scarabeo 500 0-100 km/h (63 mph) in 6 seconds

Now the Scarabeo is heavy and with a 95 kg rider we are talking 320 kg what have to be moved.

I am happy to have changed mine 500cc from
0-100 km/h - 14.5 sec to 10.3 sec but 6 seconds?

Has anybody actually seen something like this with there own eyes?

And if you modified your 500cc how is is the acceleration compared to stock?

There is a difference between Piaggio and Gilera scooters versus
Europe and USA and Latin America.
In Europe a Gilera fuoco 500 (Piaggio MP3) accelerate faster but the top speed is lower.
My Gilera Fuoco accelerate 0-100 in 4 sec but the top speed is only 140 Km/h.


Chell

4 sec???????????????? can't be mine has aporx 48 bhp and a torq of 71 nm at 7225 rpm's and it does it is 7.8 secs 0 to 100 km/h a fuoco or 500 weights 255kg without a rider mine is 280kg because it was orginal a 400

TS his fuoco is also european he is living in Spain

and the speadometer of all italian bikes are off 10 to 15km/h so the one in the youtube did 85 to 90km/h and they could have tweaked the way its recorded by changing the FPS rate

well mine is an Italian and at 100 the gps shows 95

but what did you do to get 48 hp?

well did couple off things made it in to a 460cc and flowed the head and got a rapid bike III
