This is the T5. Its about to be torn apart for painting. If you look close at the horncover (nose peice) you will see the Silver color its about to become.
This particular model was never imported to the US. It was specificaly developed for the european market becuase there was a need for a speedy scooter that had no more than 125cc's. High compression short stroke nickisil lined barrel...So what Piaggio did was, in essence, make a sports bike motor and put in it. It is a very short stroke high reving beefed up and geared up engine/drivetrain. It will do 68 mph. And I can attest to that as I have personaly hit that on this thing. It flat out screams. Has no bottom end at all. You have to ride it aggressively and hard. It has no upper rev limit. It will just scream. But never over rev. You can't over rev the thing.
But anyway these are the before pictures. I will be starting to break it down now and do the work and then rebuild it. Cosmetics only as the engine drive train and all electrics are perfect.
