Vespa GTS 500 La Mutata in Scooter Center

Vespa GTS Tuning extreme: GTS 500

The La Mutata GTS 500 we have already presented them here: La Mutata

Björn was with us last week with the two La Mutata models and Ulf, the boss himself, insisted on testing the 500cc monster. He himself was on the road with a maximum of half the displacement on classic Lambretta and Vespa scooters Performance and driving comfort impressed!

Is the brake even more impressed than by the blatant acceleration? Ulf seemed from the braking performance BREMBO P2 to be particularly enthusiastic! But see for yourself:

1 The Wishlist - Project PLATÓNIKA Vespa px bgm 177

Only the best of the best, i.e. a multitude of specially developed products from the bgm brand. It would not have been easy for me to pick the best products, but luckily the technical department of the Scooter Centers actively supported here and created a never-ending list in painstaking detailed work in just a few hours.

The whole thing would have cost me months, because this is not just about him Cylinder -BGM PRO 177 cc, can BGM Pro SportTouring bench or the Shock absorber -BGM PRO SC F1 SPORTbut really ALL parts, from the washer to the Chassis complete LML Star. Thanks to the wish list function of the Online Shops you can now see all parts that are built into the Platónika:

How do build a complete Vespa from scratch

 

1 The Wishlist - Project PLATÓNIKA Vespa px bgm 177

To build a complete scooter from single components is not an easy task and you need a source, or a shop in this case, with a strong search function and good data base.

Luckily there is a list with the components to complete the Frame LML Star listed on product page of the shop: https://blog.scooter-center.com/vespa-lml-rahmen-teileliste/, this helped us to create ours, with the specialties of BGM and Motonostra.

You can see the Platónika's wishlist here, with its hundreds of parts

Platonic Wishlist

The wishlist in the shop is also the perfect Trojan horse to share your wishes for Christmas, as it can be simply sent out by mail.

For the engine treatment I asked the SC technicians for their advice for the perfect touring engine that is reliable, powerful, a pleasure to ride and also not too thirsty.

And they helped me to add the other parts to my list that already contained the Cylinders - BGM PRO 177/187cc, The  Seat-BGM PRO SportTouring and the Shock absorber -BGM PRO SC F1 SPORT.

The Vespa - much more than just a cheap means of transport

Originally, the Vespa was intended as a cheap means of transport with weather protection for work and everyday life after the war. But of course it became a cult object for many. In the 1950s a scooter euphoria broke out in Europe ... and to this day she finds her fans around the globe. These lovers take care of that Scooter Center since 1991 with Spare parts and accessories for the Vespa in the Vespa shop.

This is the video of the Scooter Center Vespa & Lambretta Classic Day 2013.
The Classic Day '13 took place with us again on Scooter Center Store in Bergheim-Glessen near Cologne.

We were very happy about the many visitors, customers and friends!

Many came by scooter despite the weather forecast. An event is only as good as its guests - and we had the best! We liked it so much - we could spend another Classic Day with you next weekend.

THANK YOU!

Vespa races at the Nürburgring

Classic Race at the Nürburgring scooter race

Last weekend the 19th run of the “Cologne Course” from MSC Porz took place.

We from SCOOTER CENTER TEAM were again represented in large numbers.

After the final preparations and joint inviting of all the equipment and the racing scooters on Saturday morning, it was finally around 14:30 p.m. towards the ring. Once there, we met many familiar faces. The large CONTINENTAL TENT, the grill, the racing scooters etc. were quickly unloaded and set up.

Nürburgring Classic Scooter Race 2009 Scooter race on the Nürburgring

After the technical acceptance, transponder assembly and the legendary driver briefing, the final preparations were made on the scooters.

Luckily got that SCOOTER CENTER TEAM still the box no. 25. So the very rainy Saturday evening with a barbecue under the tent, music and the typical gasoline conversations was a complete success for those present from the Classic Scooter racing scene.

It wouldn't be the ring if it weren't for rain and sun on a weekend, an old Nürburgring rabbit once told me. The same thing happened on Sunday at 8:00 a.m. with the first coffee it was still quite humid and punctually at 10:00 a.m. for training it was nice and dry.

Almost all of our 12 scooters got through more or less well, but even our “T-Roller” was still used.

Fortunately, a lot of spectators came to the ring. Many familiar faces from the scooter scene were present. Overall, drivers from all parts of Germany but also from AT, GB, BE, FR and even Canada were represented.

Scooter Center successful and with a lot of fun at the start

At about 14:00 the start finally took place, the one with a
- 2nd place in regularity,
- the fastest "girl scooter" and
- with 12 scooters from 70 starters, on our part
was generally very satisfactory. We are already looking forward to the next race.

Greetings to all contributors - see you soon and get well soon to start number 6.
