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.
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.
Piaggio presented a gas-electric concept scooter at EICMA - the 'USB' (Urban Sport Bike). Designed by Marco Lambri at Piaggio's Pontedera Style Centre, the USB has a distinct futuristic look about it with its flowing lines and Persil white cleanness. But like many concept bikes, you just know the machine won't ever hit the streets, however the design ideas and the styling may eventually filter down into production models. As it turns out the technology inside the USB has already been incorporated by Piaggio in the MP3 Hybrid which was also on display at EICMA. The USB runs on a gas-electric hybrid system which utilises lithium polymer batteries to power an electric motor attached to the rear wheel. The electric power is mated with an internal combustion engine. Surprisingly the USB's gas engine is a direct-injection two-stroke as opposed to the MP3 Hybrid's four-stroke engine. Performance claims aren't much to shout about with a top speed of 62mph. Eco-friendliness and fuel economy are the main selling points for the machine, Piaggio claim you can get 155mpg out of the bike and running on battery power alone the USB can be ridden at an average speed of 37mph for 31 miles.
If maxi-scooters and tuned four-strokes are your thing, then Gilera's Trofeo 839cc GP800 should be of interest... Spec as follows: Ported engine, larger intake/exhaust valves and a larger throttle body. Improved air flow, K&N air filter. Rapid Bike II remapped ECU. Transmission mods include a lightened and tuned variator, lightened and tuned clutch, lightened drum clutch, D.I.D ERV3 520 size final drive chain, a 49-tooth ergal rear sprocket and an OEM front sprocket modified to 520 size. The exhaust system is made from steel and carbon and dyno tuned and flowed by FF FRESCO.
News just in from Adrenalin Milan HQ… We’d already heard about Polini’s 94cc developments and after a busy day trekking round EICMA today we’re able to announce news of their latest ‘evolutionary’ exhaust to complement their new 94cc kit evidence of which could be seen on the sprinter they had on display at the show.
EXCLUSIVE! News just in from the Polini camp - 94cc is now in production and will be arriving with us on our next delivery.

Both new parts are to benefit the transmission set up, the first is the 20% harder compression spring and new Evo slider. Exchanging this with the stock part will give faster and more consistent acceleration.

Next week: Elvington
We're proud to announce that up-and-coming circuit racer Josh Brown will be racing our Polini-prepped 70cc Piaggio Zip in next year's BSSO scooter series. At the ripe age of 15, Josh is already demonstrating great skill out on the track and we're very pleased to be able to support him next season. These developments mark an exciting step forward for Adrenalin and our involvement with scooter racing.
If you're a bit of petrol head then you'll be familiar with the legendary brand: Pipercross. Pipercross filters are used within some of the top sports you're more likely to see on Dave TV or even BBC 1, F1, World Rally and World Super Bikes etc.
Polini's crankshafts are some of the best available when it comes to performance and quality. This particular part carries similar characteristics to the Evolution crank but retains full splines like the stock part, this allows it to use all variator kits available.
The new Hi-Speed Variator Kit from Polini looks like what you would expect for a variator but there's a difference - the Evo Slider!
New to maxi land is Polini's nine roller speed control kit which, if the 50cc units are anything to go by, will transform your four poppers acceleration into something magical.
The silencer interior has been designed in the form of head sections to ensure enhanced performance whilst containing the noise level. The result: an increase in the torque, which makes for improved verve and maximum power rating. LeoVince designers have created an aesthetic look that adapts wonderfully to the line of the motor scooter itself, for a high-impact look. AD/7419 £ 195.00 Will fit the following HONDA PS 125i / 150 2006 > 2008 HONDA SH 125i / 150i 2005 > 2008
