VESPA SUPER BRAVO APPEARANCE AND MODS

Tommy’s Bravo has been modified from front to back with a lot of great aftermarket parts.  Let’s start from the ground up and front to back. Grimeca 5 Razze Parallele wheels in knobby tires like Shinko 16 x 90/100 knobby tire – R525 | Custom disk brakes on both wheels | Inverted Forks similar to Honda CRF50  dirt bikes | Carbon fiber color dirt bike front fender | Mid-rise dirt bike handlebars | Rear Air Shock Absorbers | original Super Bravo seat | original Bravo gas tank | The rear of the frame was sectioned off and, square tubing was added for reinforcement of the step-through frame. Custom footpeg brackets attached to the frame instead of on the swing arm where pedals are located from the factory.

ENGINE

There are a lot of Vespa racing goodies going on here.  As a vintage Vespa moped fan myself I am in love with this setup.  Vespa made rotary case inducted engines. Tommy has swapped the original engine for a Simonini race engine. Simonini engine case | Simonini race crankshaft | 47.6mm cylinder and piston | CDI | Malossi reed block | Malossi intake | Malossi Multivar Variator | Variator pull start pully | Mikuni carburetor | Moparts Hybrid Variomatic Shaft | Minarelli scooter variomatic clutch | Custom exhaust |

      CRF50 Like forks can be found on eBay. But for around 100 to 200 dollars, you can find a 50cc pit bike or dirtbike used that’s trashed but the forks are still good.
