Duke scooters have been around for years. there were various models back in the 50's and 60's.

please tell me that shot is a hoax!! people owning those in the same country&nbsp;would mortify any owner of a 748, 916,996 or 998!!!

I once took a little 50cc pullrod Duke motor across to OZ as hand luggage - the guy in customs opened the bag,took a look,then closed it again.Ended up on a mantlepiece in Melbourne.

having looked again, i'm more convinced it is a hoax.. a well done one but definitely a hoax. The exhausts are distinctly 4 strokers.

I ve got 4 stroke scooters from the 50's and the 80's - new Vespas are 4 strokes - so that means little

Must be damn hot over there for a 50cc to need a radiator and oil cooler that large!

I get the feeling it'd sell well if it was real, fake radiator, poser exhausts and all. I wonder who be keen to adjust the desmodromic valves on a 50 though.

The BMW scooters are 170 odd cc's, single cylinder,double overhead cam and 4 valves-very 4 stroke.

ok, so the 4 stroke comment wasn't the best, but it would be DAMN gutless if it was a 4 stroke. hmm... 24cc cylinders and twin exhausts... thats gonna be a bitch to look after!

anyway... since when did anyone&nbsp;need a scooter with twin disc brakes and errr.. SIX pot calipers? I don't think so Tim!

In actual fact MOST scooters are 4 stroke these days. Specific output for small 4 strokes has been going up rapidly of late, and 2 strokes are struggling to meet emissions regulations in most of the developed world.

Now thats a scooter! Very tasty indeed. Wouldn't mind hopping in that to get some milk from the dairy and pulling a few wheelies on the way. :scooter:

I am surprised that all of this lascivious drooling over scooters hasn't set St Zed off...

photoshopped 748, innit?

Look at it closer, there's nowhere on it to put an engine, even a scooter-sized one.

You said it Mr Hitcher!

Replying to this thread- all scooters look the same to me! (as I pass them)

Any of you old buggers here remember seeing a Kwak triple powered scooter at Manfeild in the early - mid eighties? There was another (a Vespa, I think) with a 500/4 Honda donk in it, too. I had a photo of the latter, but stuffed if I can find it now. Reckon it would give Zed a shock (?)
