Scooters can be dull, this is old news. However, when approached the right way, you might be surprised how cool can old two-wheelers actually be. And FMW Motorcycles' Choppanza is the best way to prove this.
With Lorenzo Fugaroli being such a skillful metal worker, we expected the Choppanza boast a truly impressive look, nothing short of amazing: a completely remade bodywork with serious modifications changed the riding stance from meek scooter to a bold chopper one. Tall, yet legal ape-hangers add an awesome attire and exceptional underarm ventilation, as The Fugar jokes.
Choppanza is based on a '72 Garelli 3VK Export scooter, but received an engine overhauling, with modified piston and head, for increased performance. This contraption can reach 13,000 rpm and can do 100 km/h (60 mph). Lorenzo also modified the Marmitta Giannelli Spitfire exhaust to match the new specs of the engine.
For squeezing through the busy city traffic and speeding on the countryside roads, the FMW Choppanza is just perfect: it's fast, it's slender, and by all means, looks like a million bucks, too.
