Like a lot of other people here, I’m just stopping to say hello and show a couple of pictures of my project. It’s not a ciao, but I’d like to get one of those soon and start over. I learned a lot by building my bravo and I think there is even more to learn by hanging out here.

You can read the whole blog here:

I started out with a very cheap 1977 Vespa Bravo:

Here is what I ended up with:

Wow, Your Bravo is awesome!
Especially the paint on the tank!

I’m sure you have spend much time to make it like this!

Keep up the good works and keep us updated!

Omfg great bravo! I like ur “rims” (12 spaaks) aswell! They are pretty rare but my favorite rims 😛

[ArvidWDonateurBerichten: 6258]

Awesome! It has the looks of a cafe-racer and I like that a lot

[KennyVespaBijdragerBerichten: 1477]

damn nice 😀 almost a oldskool motorcycle, pretty awesome 😀

keep up the good work 😀

[VincentDonateurBerichten: 649]

That’s one hell of a bike, I love the look of that Bravo. The only thing that i would add is a jiffy=)

Very nice ! I saw the picture some time ago in a topic here.

I should put a better exhaust on it, because the polini country = piece of shit

[EdjuhBijdragerBerichten: 6956]

Hella cool.

[viciousBijdragerBerichten: 337]

what`s the engine setup for this awesome moped (or what do you call it)?

[fatwreckTopic starterBerichten: 11]

Thanks for the compliments everyone. 😀

The engine has 65cc Polini that has been matched to the case. I didn’t drill out the intake though, and I now know that I should have. It has a 13.13 dellorto carb and malossi air filter. I plan to buy the malossi variator soon, but I think that is all I will really spend on this build for a while.

I know the Polini pipe I have is a “piece of shit”, but I haven’t found another pipe that I am super happy with. I would love the Proma Cirucit. Anybody have one they want to sell me?! 😉 I know they don’t make them anymore, but I’m sure they are out there. If not, what other suggestions do you have? I’d like to have a good mid-high range pipe.

[KennyVespaBijdragerBerichten: 1477]

polini top one
proma circuit
malossi too bad 22mm version

also you can fill in your set-up:

cilinder = cilinder haha 😛
carters = crankcase
uitlaat = exhaust
krukas = crankshaft
snelheid = speed

[fatwreckTopic starterBerichten: 11]

Thanks for the translation. I updated my profile.

Polini Top One – I found someone that has it here. It’s $170 + shipping or 109 euros.
Proma Circuit – Nope.
Malossi too bad – never heard of it. I’ll see what I can find.
