Yes, I've ridden Tino's SX200 Targa. Performance... depends what you want to talk about.... best ever BHP = No.... most torque ever = No, however, this would still be top of my list in the "If you could have any Lambretta motor, what would it be?" stakes. Regardless of the Innocenti development history, which I also love, the motor is great fun to ride. The firing twice per revolution is completely alien to anyone that is used to riding a Lambretta and you'll easily be tricked, by your ears/hearing, into changing up through the gears at low revs and possibly, as I was, confused into thinking that performance is not that great. However, because you've changed up at the sound and feel that you are used to on a single cylinder Lambretta, you'll have actually have changed up at half the normal revs. What you need to do is hold on longer in each gear and change up at normal revs, which sounds/feels like 2x the revs you think that it is! Once you've got the hang of this the motor comes into its own and is a great ride. This is something that I'd happily burn around town on or ride across Europerbgaz wrote:anyone-on here ever ridden one ? are they still making them ? targa twin i mean
Tino makes these in batches but I think that there are still plenty of new units with various dealers, Cambridge Lambretta and Stuart Owen being 2 of the dealers that stock these.
I love them and am very envious of anyone that has one.
