flyer Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Must've looked like this. I'm the little one.. I never had a Lambretta but I did have a BSA Sunbeam. Nice little job, went all over on it. Cost me £25 in 1968.. Do remember my #1 standing up in the single side car just holding onto the wind screen if he bobed up i could always pat him on the head back down seat belts what on earth are they??:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I think the best Lambretta model was the SX 200 they were quite fast and could be tuned for a bit more performance, think they even raced them at one time. ---------- Post added 06-07-2013 at 08:01 ---------- Do remember my #1 standing up in the single side car just holding onto the wind screen if he bobed up i could always pat him on the head back down seat belts what on earth are they??:hihi: BSA sunbeam scooters were right monsters they had a big 250cc four stroke engine in them they went like stink just rubbish on handling, big ugly things they didn't sell very well they just did not look nice like the Lambrettas and Vespas of the time.

Derkop Diana they were quite a good scooter, the best scooter to come from Germany was the Zundapp Bella 250cc.
