The Vespa GS Series scooters are one of collector items. What makes these scooter models were special, apart from its rarity, they have a slightly different physical form from any other Vespa types. The Vespa GS-Series has two variants, namely the VS and MK types. And the Vespa GS VS type has five series, namely VS1 to VS5. Meanwhile, there are only two types of Vespa GS MK, namely Mark 1 and Mark 2.

Both of Vespa GS Series also carried different kind of engines, for the Vespa GS VS scooter carries a 150cc 2-stroke engine while the GS MK 160cc. Apart from the engine, the characteristics of the Vespa GS Series also can be seen from the color, for the GS VS type scooter is only available in silver, while the GS MK is wrapped in white.

Well, at the ISF 2019 event, it turned out that there were two other Vespa GS units on display along with several other beautiful and unique scooters, namely the 1957 Vespa GS VS3 Messerchemitt and the 1962 Vespa GS MK1 Messerchemitt.

3. Vespa SS (Super Sprint) Series
This scooter is also commonly called the Vespa smallframe and has only two variants, namely the 500 SS and 90 SS. If seen from its history, the Vespa SS Series was produced from 1965 to 1971 in limited numbers, reportedly only 5,000 units worldwide.

1965 Vespa 50 SS VS3 uses a 50cc 2-stroke engine was said to be offered at a pretty fantastic price of Rp. 1 billion (approx the US. $71,171) and today's highest bid of Rp.700 million (approx the US. $49,819). (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3qTfffU)

Apart from its small and cutie design, the Vespa SS Series is also unique thanks to the placement of the spare tire in the middle of the deck and the toolbox that resembles a fuel tank on the upper of the spare tire. Besides being useful to store various mechanic tools, the toolbox also functions as a chest pad for the rider.

As we all know, during its production period, the Vespa SS Series was intended to be used for racing at the Imola and Vallelunga circuits in Italy. And now, even though it has been almost 50 years since the scooter production have been ceased, the Vespa SS Series has never lost its charm among the world's scooter enthusiasts.

Not once, but twice this 1970 Vespa 90 SS with a 90cc 2-stroke engine has been sold at a fantastic price of Rp. 300 million (approx the US. $21,160). (Picture from: https://bit.ly/37Vw4y4)

Indonesia as one of the countries with the largest Vespa community in the world, there're several Vespa SS Series units still be found in the roads. However, due to its small population, the price of the Vespa SS Series scooters on the market has gone crazy, it is said that someone once sold a Vespa 90 SS at Rp. 300 million (approx the US. $21,160).

In the first transaction, the 1970 Vespa 90 SS was sold for Rp. 300 million, while in the second one, it was sold for around Rp. 340 million. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/37Vw4y4)

Remembrance Ducati's three-wheeled vehicles

If we hear the name Ducati mentioned, then what comes to mind must be a row of large motorbikes with extraordinary performance, or even MotoGP racing motorbikes, right?

But actually many don't know that this Italian manufacturer used to make scooters and three-wheeled vehicles, too. Well, some time ago we have aver discussed for Ducati made scooters.

Then this time we will discuss about the three-wheeled vehicles made by the Borgo Panigale based motorcycle manufacturer, one of which was named Ducati Muletto and was released in the 1950s.

At that time Ducati tried to compete with Piaggio, its compatriot manufacturer that had already produced the Piaggio Ape to fill the three-wheeled vehicle market.

And the three-wheeled vehicle was created by Ducati intended to a real-cargo vehicle with the rear-box that can be opened on all sides, as if there is no limit to the size of the goods it can carry.

As reported by Bikeexif.com, the Ducati Muletto has a carrying capacity of up to 350 kg. Then for performance, the three-wheeled Ducati carries a single-cylinder SOHC engine so able to make it to run up to 60 kph.

Hereafter, there are two types of engines from Ducati Muleto, namely 175 and 200 cc. The Italian motorcycle manufacturer built the Muletto with a 175 cc engine in 1957, and a year later, the same vehicle was built with an engine with a 200 cc capacity.

In addition, in the 1960s Ducati had also made other three-wheeled vehicles that was no less unique by using a two-stroke engine with a 50 cc capacity called the Ducati Fattorino. The Ducati Fattorino's unique form also famous due to has taken part in several Italian movie titles in the 1960s.

As the name implies, this custom motorcycle is built by using a base of VW 1600 dual port engine commonly used by VW Combi. The machine is mounted on the 1.25 and 1.5 inches of the custom made DOM tubing chassis. To provide accuracy between dimensions and engine weight, he deliberately placed a rake angle of 30 degrees.

The machinery process is done thoroughly. One of them by redesigning the transmission system into four acceleration and can be operated by the rider's foot, just like riding a motorcycle in general.

"This custom motorbike was dedicated to the world of Indonesian custom culture by exploiting my fondness on the VW and then is made in the figure of a custom motorcycle. All the design of the frame until the modification of the transmission system is done in his workshop with a variety of accuracy that still aims to remain comfortable riding," said Lulut, on Sunday, November 19, 2017 as quoted from Kompas.

"We want to prove through these Volkswagen Motorcycles, that automotive work is born from the thinking and process of the production of resources owned by Indonesian. Let's talk with the work," said Lulut further.

 

To maintain performance while riding, the Volkswagen Motorcycles are supported with 41 mm telescopic hardchrome front forks of Mid USA and the rear used the Ohlins adjustable.

The British-made Douglas Vespa scooter models

Most people only know and even consider the Vespa brand scooter to be a scooter that is only produced in Italy. This assumption is neither wrong nor 100 percent correct as well. Because in fact, there are the Vespa scooters produced outside of Italy, such as in England, France, Germany, Russia, and many other countries in the world.

1951 Douglas Vespa Rod. (Picture from: http://bit.ly/2DMAgn2)

And here's the Douglas Vespa, the Vespa scooter models ever produced by the British manufacturing company named Douglas (Kingswood) Ltd. The presence of Vespa Douglas scooter began when the British company headquartered in Kingswood, Bristol, England, which is known to have been producing motorbikes since 1907, and in 1948, the company was effectively bankrupt after having suffered a decline in business significantly.

However, the condition of the company slightly improved, when at the same year, Claude McCormack, Managing Director of Douglas returned to England after taking a vacation trip to Italy and caught sight of a Vespa scooter while in there. Immediately he make a memorandum of understanding with Piaggio that generally consists an agreement to build the under licensed Vespa scooter in Bristol.

It seemed then that the deal looked to be going well when the Italian manufacturer had shown off a Vespa scooter model at the Douglas booth in the Motorcycle Show at Earls Court in 1949. Two years later, the scooter model was really produced by Douglas to be pricisely in April, 1951, shortly after the entire manufacturing infrastructure was completed.

Initially, all Douglas scooters were built intact in England. The Douglas foundry churned out items such as engine bearers, clutch covers and cylinder heads, whilst from the machinery shop came gear clusters, brake drums and much else besides. And most of the pressing items were made by Pressed Steel, a workshop based in Birmingham, England.

But after the British company introduced the Douglas 152L2 scooter model, all scooter parts were supplied directly by Piaggio from its factory based in Pontadera, Italy. Meanwhile, the Douglas factory in Bristol only had assembled them becoming a scooter.

During the production periods that rolled ranging from 1951 to 1965, here's several types of Vespa Douglas were successfully produced by the Brit company, as follows:

1. Douglas Rod, is a Vespa model which refers to the retro term for gear shifting. This scooter model takes the specifications of the 1949 Piaggio Vespa scooter model. And the Douglas Rod model was produced between 1951-1955 with only 125 units ever built.
2. Douglas G Model, is a continuation of the previous model with a cable gear change. This Vespa Douglas model uses a two-stroke 125cc capacity engine and was produced between 1953-1954.
3. Douglas GL2, is an update of the Piaggio 1949 model, especially from the twin chassis and ports on the engine. This model uses a two-stroke 125cc capacity engine and was produced from 1954-1955.
4. Douglas 42L2, is a new model that has applied the headlights to the handlebar sector and The model was produced in 1955-1956.
5. Douglas 92L2, is a modification of the Douglas 42L2 model by carrying a larger fuel tank. This model was developed in 1956-1959.
6. Douglas 102L2, this is a Vespa 92L2 but has a 150cc capacity engine imported directly from Italy. This model was produced in 1957.
7. Douglas 152L2, is a completely new model with a 150cc capacity engine. The rear is constructed in two parts, as well as the engine carrier which is attached to the crankcase. This model was produced from 1959 to 1960.
8. Douglas Sportique, is the last generation of Vespa Douglas scooter. This scooter model carried a 125cc capacity engine and was produced from 1961 to 1965.

Clearly, Piaggio were expecting too much for a big-scaled production from Douglas. They gave Douglas not only the UK market but also large areas of the globe covered by Commonwealth countries e.g. Canada, Australia, East Asia and Southern Africa. They were to be disappointed, due to it could not compete in the market.

In 1965, after successfully assembling around 126,230 scooters, the entire production process of Douglas scooters had been ceased. After that, Douglas became the sole importer of Piaggio-made Vespa scooters to England. There various scooter models such as the GS 150 and others were imported directly from Italy until 1982.

It seems that Piaggio has to accept the reality of the situation namely that the British market has been irreparably compromised by their decision to go with Douglas instead of exporting the scooters directly to British soil and those good relations continued until the demise of Douglas in 1982.

The German's gorgeous Diana scooter of '50s

Dürkopp or Dürkoppwerke is founded in Bielefeld in 1867 by Nikolaus Dürkopp who started out as the sewing machine maker, later the company was also knew as one of the pioneers of the German motorcycle industry.

The Dürkopp Diana scooter was first displayed at the Frankfurt Show of 1953 (the IFMA Fair), and entered into the market in 1954. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2Jr00Kp)

 Dürkopp was constructing bicycles, motorcycles, cars and various other components from 1901. The company ceased manufacturing motorcycles before the outbreak of World War I between 1912 and 1927, although there was a period of assembling motorized bicycles in the 1930s, it did not resume production until 1949.

1902  Dürkopp Phaeton Karmann. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2VEjU6O)

In the 1920s, Dürkopp shifted its business activities to producing automobiles and had more than 6,000 workers building a variety of cars covering models from 1500cc to over 6 liters. This company was very active in the years leading up to WWII, by producing all kinds of weaponry and components, and in 1944, the company was reported that it had up to 3000 prisoners of war and forced labourers in its workforce.

1902  Dürkopp MD 200 uses a 198cc engine. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/36JRUFh)

Post-war production commenced with a motorized bicycle powered by a 48cc JLO engine delivering power to the rear wheel by roller drive. Dürkopp's most successful post-war model was the MD150, introduced in 1951 and remaining in production until 1954. Almost 18,000 MD150 machines were built. There was also a 198cc model, the MD200, available from 1952 to 1954.

1959  Dürkopp Diana TS uses a 175cc two stroke engine. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/36JRUFh)

The 1950s was known as the heyday of scooters, so it did not escape the German manufacturer's observation. And finally in 1953, the company was interested in producing scooters through the Dürkopp Diana scooter model.

The scooter is clearly influenced by the Innocenti Lambretta LD scooter which is a rival to Piaggio Vespa, but is equipped with a larger engine (194cc) and the front shield shape is unique. As a result, its scooters were well built but relatively expensive, so the number of scooters offered and successfully sold on the market during the 1950s was not large.

The Dürkopp Diana scooter was first displayed at the Frankfurt Show of 1953 (the IFMA Fair), and entered into the market in 1954, and was well received (almost 25,000 of the two-seater scooter version being produced). The scooter is featured with a relatively luxurious unit with an electric starter and a manually four-speed gearbox coupled its two stroke engine with a capacity of 200 cc. Two new models were introduced in 1959, the 175cc Diana TS and the Diana Sport with a more powerful 198cc engine.

It's also noted that a number of leading contemporary magazines at the time have tested the Dürkopp Diana scooter, and the results, it is described as 'well designed', and built to luxury specifications. The scooter remained in production until 1959.

In 1955, the company was acquired by the Ardie company so that Dürkopp's Fratz I, II, III, IV and Dianette's mopeds were marketed under the Ardie label. Unfortunately, the production of the Diana scooters and all motorcycles ended in 1961 due to the sewing machine product proved to be more profitable.😢

And after a series of merger attempts (lastly the Dürkopp mergered with its compatriot company Adler in 1990), the company was bought out by Chinese investors (ShangGong Company of China) in 2005.

That's it, and if the article above is still considered inadequate or inaccurate, or if you have additional information related to the Dürkopp Diana scooter models, please don't hesitate to let us know via the comments column below this article.

The Piatti scooter was unique like this since it's been born

It is an article about one of unique scooters made in England in the 1950s called the Piatti scooter. It all started when World War II ended in 1945, which is touted as the beginning of the rise of scooters in the world.

1956 Piatti scooter manufactured by Cylclemaster Limited at Byfleet in Surrey, England. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/36nund6)

Many companies of several countries in the world are trying to assemble and market their homemade scooters to compete in the world's motorcycle free market. One of them is Piatti Scooter. Even though it bear an Italian name, the Piatti scooter is not a motorcycle made in that pizzas country like the Vespa and Lambretta.

1956 Piatti scooter uses a single-cylinder 124cc two-stroke engine with three-speed gearbox and chain drive. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3fVGrW0)

Originally, Piatti scooter is a scooter under license produced by the Belgium's automobile distribution company and vehicle glass repair and replacement workshop named D'Ieteren in 1954 ago. The name Piatti is used in honor of the scooter designer named Vincenzo Piatti, who is originally from Italy.

In 1956, Piatti's production was commenced at the Cylclemaster Limited at Byfleet in Surrey, England because the D'Ieteren assembly plant (whose ever produced Aldimi scooter) in Belgium concentrated only on assembling four-wheeled vehicles which at that time had a boom after WWII ended.

1956 Piatti scooter is designed with a front fender space that covers the rear wheels. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2VktSdJ)

The British scooter is armed with an two-stroke air-cooled engine with an engine capacity of up to 125 cc. Piatta Scooter is equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission with a Vespa-like displacement mechanism on the left handle bar.

At that time the 125 cc two-stroke engine was widely used by other scooter manufacturer models such as the Lambretta SX 125, LI 125, Vespa Bacchetta 125 and so on. While other scooters continued to flutter with technological developments that followed the progress of the times, Piatti was even more sinking because it was considered that the community at that time had only one weird model so it was difficult for society to accept.

Vincenzo Piatti designed the scooter named the S 125 in 1949 with a front fender space that covers the rear wheels. Between the two axles is an engine with a side gearbox and a fuel tank between the rider's legs. Meanwhile, the position of the handlebars and the driver's seat looks like it is hanging and is only resting on one point. For us, this design is difficult to understand and disproportionate that this scooter looks weird.

Even on The Independent's magazine published in 1984, called ever published a statement of Bob Currie (author of Great British Motorcycles of the Sixties), "The Piatti is the worst scooter ever perpetrated." Not a few of the members of the British Two Stroke Club at that time who loved the magazine's existence believed in the statement.

With a form that at that time was already considered "strange" by the scooter user community, coupled with the increasing demand for small cars in Europe, which significantly affected the Piatti scooter sales figures.

Over time the Piatti scooter sank in the competition for two-wheeled vehicles in the world. We also cannot trace the scooter's total population that have been produced by Cyclemaster and how many the scooter units still existed today.

That's it, and if the article above is still considered inadequate or inaccurate, or if you have additional information related to the all-British made unique scooter models, please don't hesitate to let us know via the comments column below this article.
