felt very slow to start as i was used to the vespa

after about 50mph it changed to

vrooooom im gone

They were (in)famous for that....malossi variator apparently helps a lot!

or simply lighten the loads rollers by a few grams per roller this can help a lot with very little expense .

i think it was just the fact that the vespa had next to no weight and was well tuned so was instant speed

the burg being heavy seemed slugish but i realised i was doing 50mph without realising

off out later as daughter wants to go to my mums house

200 vespa GT is faster up to 20/30 Id say .They always used to say dont give the 400 full throttle straight off the line let it get moving say half throttle once revs are up give it full .

sound like you have found a well looked after bike well done and may you have many happy miles on it
