La Vespa in Spain

The scooter market in Spain is very strong and has a long tradition. Spain is one of the largest markets for scooters in Europe and in addition to new vehicles there is also a lively market for scooters in Spain used Vespas. Many lovers of classic Vespas are looking for restored or well-preserved older models to revive the charm of bygone times.

Here are some of the parts that will keep Vespas on the road for many years:

Moto Vespa Spain

Motovespa 160GT
The Motovespa 160 is one of the most sought-after vehicles from Spanish production.
The leg shield is vaguely reminiscent of the iconic Vespa SS50 and SS90 and, in conjunction with the trapezoidal headlight, gives the 160GT an elegant, sporty look.
The engine of the 160 and 160GT already shows some technical features similar to the big sister SS180 from Piaggio.
For this engine type, we had bgm reproduce some components that were no longer available or difficult to obtain.

Motovespa GT 160

The Spanish licensee Motovespa SA based in Madrid has developed the Motovespa 160 (09C).

Definitely an odd specimen - electronic ignition similar to the Serveta Lambrettas but still with piston connections. The body is basically a sprint/rally, but the engine is an odd mix of old and new technology.

The Motovespa 160 is often confused with the Super Sport 180, but at second glance you can see the many differences.

Finally, the Vespa 160 GT was a version with a series of side panels and accessories that made it even more attractive.

BGM Pro crankshaft

The BGM Pro crankshaft for the GT160 is available in different versions.

In general, the original Femsatronic ignition of the GT160 fits all versions. On the drive side there are variants for the original GT160 clutch or the variant to use the PX clutch type.

All PX 6 and 7 spring clutches as well as all Cosa and bgm Superstrong clutches can be used here.

The thrust washer is also used on crankshafts with type PX coupling stub BGM6033 and the woodruff key 9999002 thats it!

We offer both variants with the standard stroke of 57mm and as a long-stroke version with a stroke of 60mm.

For the crankshafts with 60mm stroke, the engine case has to be modified to create space for the lower connecting rod eye.

Since only a small amount of material has to be removed here with a radius of 0.8 to 1mm, this task can easily be completed in a few minutes with a hand milling cutter.

With the 60mm stroke variant, the control angle of the cylinder changes.

Typical for the GT160 cylinder are the relatively large control angles for the transfer ports in connection with the very short control angle of the exhaust port.

With the original 57mm stroke, the cylinder has the following control angles:

Piston recess 0.5mm

Inlet angle: 131°

Outlet angle: 144 °

Transfer angle: 119°

Forward outlet: 12,5°

If the same cylinder with 60mm stroke is used, the following control angles result:

Piston protrusion: 1mm

Inlet angle: 132°

Outlet angle: 148 °

Transfer angle: 124°

Forward outlet: 12°
