Scooter Porn – New Vespa Performance Catalogue

SIP Scootershop have announced their latest parts book, the SIP BFA Tuning 187-306 catalogue containing 92 pages of what Vespa riders may well class as scooter porn!

The oldest wisdom in the world of engines is that nothing beats cubes, except more cubes! BFA has taken this approach to the max and now builds an engine with a massive capacity of 306cc for Largeframe Vespas. No stone has been left unturned with engine case, cylinder, crankshaft, all designed from scratch to meet the demands of such a 306cc high end lump. The result is next level Vespa tuning. Power, torque and width of powerband are more akin to a motocross engine on steroids than to a scooter with over 50 HP possible.

The BFA 306 Motor and the individual components of the set are among the most exclusive engine parts available for the traditional geared scooter engines. And yes, for those with a good memory the BFA range is what came from the ashes of the BSG Lambretta and Vespa projects of a few years ago now. Since SIP took over in 2018 they have built a 40hp touring engine, 52hp for show at shop event and for their 25th anniversary  a custom project with 71.4 hp at the rear wheel.

The range has been expanded and a version of the engine case for 60mm stroke cranks was added, as were versions for “standard” 177cc and Malossi MHR220. On top of that there is an engine case with no transfers, to be used for other cylinders of your own choice. The parts themselves still come from the same small and prestigious Italian precision engineers.

Anyway, the brand new catalogue reveals the extent of the current SIP BFA range  and you can view a digital version of the catalogue online right now below:
