Spanish racing moped

I have just bumped into a friends brother in law over here in Spain who was 3x Catalan moped racing champion. One of his 15/20 year old peds was still around, so I took a couple of pictures. It is 125cc bored out to 170, did 140kph and is probably the only ped you have seen with a frame brace and technomagnesio wheels & slicks

Surely that calls for a test ride

looks a tad unsafe to me…

I get the sense that the Spanish aren’t quite as bothered about safety as we are, Flats - Pamplona bull run anyone?

I think you may have tripped over the answer there LSD, but round ere we dont have to go all the way to Pamplona, they do bullruns in most of the towns and villages round here - just before the Valencia MOTOGP funnily enough

A teenagers dream.

Was he disqualified for his oversize engine?

No, I think it is all legal, a bit like formula extreme but for mopeds. Do you want me to ask him what he would give you for a 04 gixxer in px ?

I loved those moped days, but not that much.
Funny looking back because at the time they seemed to handle and felt quick

Would be great if you could convince the guy to pull them out from under the kiddies toys and take some show-off photos of them Kao5. Can’t imagine many people over here will have seen the like. Certainly puts the Typhoon in its place! Has he got any photos of himself at the time of his championship triumphs? They’d go down well too, I’m sure

Thats because we never slowed for corners . . . . and the really fast guys like me even spun the pedals round for extra ground clearance - tell that to yer scuffed kneesliders

Will do, maybe over there early next week. Glad peole like them, they seem daft initially, but i bet he would still scare quite a few of the inters on a trackday . .

Nice one Kao5 - anyone who sneers at scooters should watch the orginal French ‘Taxi’ film. Awesome trickery

Full racing clipons and slicks on a ped! 140? That must have been some wicked site seeing 30 plus of those off the grid.

I would have took him to the cleaners on my Yammy FS1E…

Fizzies…Summer…Local Hotties…HEAVEN !!

Ahh, another ex Fizzy owner. Coming to think of it as a crazy 16 year old then, i`d have fancied my chances too
