The World's Fastest Scooter!

We join a 2 Stroke loving daredevil as he attempts to set a new world record for the fastest speed on a 250cc Vespa Scooter! Anything with 2 wheels and a two stroke motor gets us properly excited, and this story is just another example of why that's the case. We meet up with Vespa speed demon Adie Horrocks at Elvington Airfield for the Straightliners Speed Week to see if he can smash the world record on a super tuned Italian crotch rocket. Sit back, relax and enjoy another cracking 2 Stroke tale...

@johnstamper715 I race in Group 4e has to be a bolt on off the shelf kit with only matching the transfers and exhaust port tuning. It’s 144cc just under the limit of 145cc for smallframe Vespas. It’s pushing out 28bhp and tops out just over 85mph on most circuits. Gearbox runs a short 4th gear and 27/69 primaries. In real world speeds I know that’s not fast but it’s still a lot of fun and as soon as all my injuries heal up after a fast off at Pembrey I’ll be back on board looking to go faster again at either Anglesey or Cadwell depending on when I’m good to go

[@siraff4461]

As a Hayabusa owner 130mph sounds like somewhere around 2nd gear or a nice cruising speed where roads allow. As a Grom owner (and with a bit of scooter experience) 130mph on wheels that small sounds bloomin terrifying. With a "frame" that wobbly aswell the term "s0d that" comes to mind. Best of luck to the loony. Sounds like a man after my own heart.

[@999lazer]

Thanks for watching. Adie must have balls of steel for sure:)

[@siraff4461]

@@999lazer There's a thin line between brave and daft. I'm not sure which side he's on or if he's just balancing somewhere in the middle. I've done 80mph on one of those things and its far more frightening than the busa at 190+.

Great content as always Max! I used to have a RD350LC and I worked with a bloke who had a vespa, he used to say that you can tune vespa scooters to blow away a RD350LC! I laughed at him and used to think he was crazy, but now I know different! Well done Ade 🤩

just 100mph is awesome! Building a 252 myself with the help of Lee Lux over at That Scooter Shop in Norcross Georgia.

In 1951, Romolo Ferri on a factory Lambretta 125 clocked 125.6 over a flying mile on the Ingolstadt motorway. Faired, of course. I have been on one of the early 1950s factory 125 racers in Australia.

It's good that you're making these videos, but like the Yambretta video, it would be nice to hear from the builders and find out what they actually did to build these.

[@allysonsquires8421]

I inherited my dads vespa with a big bore kit and aftermarket exhaust system and 50 mph is scary never mind those speeds😂🤘🤘

[@AAs-vb7pv]

I would lower the front end ad a bit of extra Wight on the front and make the stablelizer damper to a lot more stiff er

[@curtisforcum]

Is what i'm doing to mine so i don't pop wheelie's in the turns. Plus the stance looks better.

[@lawrence471]

I built an Airsal t6 70cc yamaha vino. I hat to switch to the telescopic forks first for stability. The engine had an Airsal t6 kit with a carb, a variator, and upgear kit. And the Leo Vinci touring Pipe for torque. And it pulled strong from the start to 90mph.

ciao,lo scorso anno gli hi suggerito di montare un fly screen,in questo modo avrebbe abbassato l'anteriore,rendendolo più stabile,inoltre la velocità massima sarà superiore.LO so,perché giudo tutti i giorni una Vespa Px 252 Quattrini,con il fly screen

my 1964 Lambretta now converted to electric does 0-100 mph in 2 seconds and top speed of 160mph up graded to 12" rims to eliminate speed wobble and steering lock, 6kw motor wheel 72 volt. Destroys 100cc motorbikes like they were tricycles lol eats Harleys and Indians for tea and doesn't even break a sweat KTF I regularly take pinks from street bike losers in Canada lol You guys need to graduate to electric and stop wasting time on the shite petrol slow rubbish move up into real speeds with electric.
