Doppler / Tun'R @ EICMA 2009

More eye candy from the show in Milan, this time some trick bits from France, namely Doppler & Tun'R...

BOOSTER-DRAG RX

Sporting more tuning and styling components than you can shake a stick at, Doppler in collaboration with BCD have gone the whole hog and transformed what was a humble MBK Booster into a work of art - this fine machine looks it'd be more at home in the Guggenheim museum than on a drag strip. Having said that, the engine appears built for speed and the lengthening and lowering of the scooter suggests it's designed for sprinting. Bolted on to a painted NRG Extreme crankcase is a polished Doppler S7R 70cc cylinder kit, Doppler crank, Doppler S3R inlet, Dell'Orto VHSH 30mm carb, Doppler white internal rotor system. Transmission has been beefed up with a Malossi Over Range variator, Doppler clutch, Malossi wing clutch bell. Doppler S3R chrome exhaust plus Doppler Evolution white silencer. And there's more... Polished and painted MBK Nitro rims utilising Kiesler's Piaggio/MBK rear wheel adaptor + Kiesler rear brake disc (Doppler 230mm front brake disc at the front). Painted Doppler forks, Doppler white racing handlebar and stem (polished) + prototype Doppler white/black grips, Tommaselli quick action throttle. Kiesler fuel tank, transparent cooling hoses, Tun'R twin headlights, BCD Limited Edition bodywork kit RX / Evolution. All very trick indeed.

BLACK & WHITE AEROX

In keeping with Doppler's apparent mono theme is their 'Black & White' Yamaha Aerox which again showcases a whole host of Doppler and Tun'R goodies. Instantly recognisable are the forks, the Doppler white shock absorber and the S3R Evolution exhaust which has been varnised and fitted with a black silencer. The bodywork is predominantly Tun'R stuff, in fact it all is including the front mudguard and transparent black Lexus style brake light. The funky mirror, brake levers and alloy white kick starter are again made by Tun'R. The handlebar and stem are both from Doppler.

More photos of the above scooters can be found in our EICMA 2009 photo set on Flickr... Keep your eyes peeled for more pics from the show as we've still got a bit of a backlog to go through.
