The Super Sport, or SS was the successor to the 160 GS and was built from 1964 to 1968. With the exception of the increase in cc's to motor and suspension design were very similar. On the other hand the SS styling was totally new. The design was more angular than the rounded GS. Squared off edges and a trapezoidal shaped headlight gave the scooter a thoroughly 60's appearance.
