However, the 2.9 liters/ 100 km are more like 3.5 liters which translate in a range of 130 km. Top speed is more like 90 km/h at 7.600 rpm which he doesn’t like. No wonder as no long stroke engine likes high rpm’s and this one is run best at 5.3 – 6.300 rpm. The glovebox is a joke and makes the USB port unusable- no modern mobile can be fit in there. Same.with the underseat compartment- I haven’t found one helmet which would fit in there and even the one of a Vespa LX 50 is larger, let alone the one of a GTS. The display should have shown the speed digital and the rpm’s analog – would have been the more natural way. The turn signal indicator sound is an annoyance (imagine you stop at night at a traffic light – people living there will “love” you). But with all that said, did I mention the looks? The LED headlight works much better than the one I had on my GTS, the break light with the lambretta logo receives constantly positive comments, Breaks work perfect – never experienced better stoppers on a scooter then these. Service costs are by far lower than those of the Vespas (I know the difference from personal experience). So, if want a stylish scooter for urban short rides and like to make acquaintance with lots of people asking you each and every detail about Lambretta and prefer not to go mainstream (Vespa or motorcycles which pretend to be a scooter – think about those 500+ cc ones) this is the scooter for you.:

It’s a nice handling scoot, agreed re the power but it is OK for CBD and inner suburbs. Looks good… enjoy your V200 Linda. Cheers, Jeff.

My daily ride had originally been a Vespa GTS250ie. The cornering on the V200 is so much nicer than the GTS. It’s nice to be confident that the rear end won’t drag me down. Yes the dash is terrible in full sun…I’d love the option to go analogue. I do miss the power of the GTS but the Lammy is more visually appealing. I’d love to drop a bigger engine in for more oomph because 100 is not quite enough.
