Italjet Velocifero

[Deleted account D]

Just bought one of these for my son.

£250 quid !

Anyone had experience of these, I believe they have a suzuki engine, very easy to tune apparently.

that looks cool

if its the standard italjet aircooled engine, theres loads of stuff you can do to them. Easiest being a big bore and carb. I wouldnt want to put a loud exhaust on such a bike. Keep it quiet to keep that retro coolness.

Variator, rollers and clutch can all easily be replaced also.

A great place for upgrades is www.scooter-attack.com

i could be wrong, but, IIRC they had a terrible build quality so it might be worth keeping an eye on it on a regular basis...hidden benefit is your son might learn something keeping it on the road..
